Question

The given sentence is divided into four segments. Select the option that has the segment with a grammatical error.

We were on the way/ to the party;/ suddenly, there/ will a heavy downpour.

Accepted Answer

The sentence segments are:
1. 'We were on the way' - grammatically correct.
2. 'to the party;' - grammatically correct.
3. 'suddenly, there' - grammatically correct.
4. 'will a heavy downpour.' - incorrect word order and tense usage.

Correct form should be: 'there will be a heavy downpour.' The auxiliary verb 'will' should be followed by 'be' and then the subject 'a heavy downpour'. Hence, segment 3 'will a heavy downpour.' contains the grammatical error.
