The plans for the attack fell into enemy hands so the German's knew were the next landing location was. Many Allied troops were killed even before making it to the ground. But maybe more important than that was that the 1st British Airborne were not able to keep Arnhem bridge before reinforcements arrived and so the bridge, Arnhem its self and everything else feel back into German hands.
The 1st British Airborne Division evacuated the Arnhem Area
No, it was a huge failure which likely prolonged the war several months.

Operation Market Garden
Market Garden was an Allied airborne operation that took place in the Netherlands and Germany between 17 & 25 September 1944. The objective was to take and control a series of bridges en route to the Rhine and northern Germany. While MG was the largest airborne operation before or since, it was eventually a failure as Allied armor never achieved the desired objective.
Operation Market Garden was not very successful and only lasted a short period for time from September 17th to September 25th, 1944. More information on the Operation Market Garden can be found in full details on Wikipedia.
Operation Market Garden happened on 1944-09-25.
