Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.

May is the appropriate modal verb to indicate the possibility or likelihood of rain. Can is used informally when the event is likely to happen, whereas may is used to indicate the higher degree of possibility of the event happening.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: According to the radio, it may rain this evening.
