Correct Answer: bewitched there trunks to fly downstairs to
Solution : The segment with a grammatical error is in the first option.
Explanation: The error in the original sentence is the misuse of the pronoun "there" instead of the correct possessive pronoun "their". There is used to indicate a place, while "their" is a possessive pronoun indicating ownership. In this context, it should be "their trunks" because Fred and George had bewitched their own trunks.
So, the correct sentence would be: "Fred and George had bewitched their trunks to fly downstairs to save the bother of carrying them."
