Correct Answer: will have purchased


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation : The error in the segment "will have purchased" is that it lacks a helping verb. The correct construction should be "will have been purchased" to form the future perfect passive voice, indicating an action that will be completed in the future.

The structure of the future perfect passive voice is: "object + will have been + past participle form of the main verb + prepositional phrase."

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "But this immortality will have been purchased at the price of his immortal part."
