Correct Answer: (1)


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

The sentence talks about the party that will happen in the future. Hence, "were having" should be replaced with "are going to have", which is the present continuous form that is used to discuss future intentions or plans.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "They are going to have a birthday party at home next week."
