Correct Answer: you are going to stumble to a


Solution : The error lies in the second option .

The preposition to is incorrect in this context. The correct idiom is stumble upon , which means to discover or find something unexpectedly. So, the phrase should be stumble upon a jewel instead of stumble to a jewel .

Therefore, the correct sentence is: You never know when you are going to stumble upon a jewel in the most unexpected corner.
