Running the following gives an error:

/dev/sdb1 is in use.
e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting.
What's causing this and how do I fix it? It's not MATE; I tried
rebooting to rescue mode, but that didn't help.

People sometimes recommend 'fuser' in cases like these in order to
identify processes that might be accessing the drive.
I mean, the message says '/dev/sdb1 is in use.' Perhaps it is indeed.
fuser -v -m /dev/sdb1
Worth a try, maybe, as no one else seems to have suggested it.
root@martha:~# fuser -v -m /dev/sdb1
root@martha:~#
No results. Thanks.

Maybe something simple like "lsof" command can shed some light on this
problem?
$ sudo lsof /dev/sdb
$ sudo lsof /dev/sdb1
root@martha:~# lsof /dev/sdb
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfsd-fuse file system /run/user/1001/gvfs

Also show us an output of "gdisk" command:
$ sudo gdisk -l /dev/sdb
root@martha:~# gdisk -l /dev/sdb
