Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the third option.
The original sentence "When the wind blows" is incomplete and lacks the correct tense. To convey the idea that the cradle will rock when the wind blows, one should use the present tense blows .
Wind blows is the correct choice as it provides the correct verb tense and completes the sentence as the simple present tense is followed by the simple present future tense in cases of conditional sentences.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "When the wind blows , the cradle will rock."
