Question : The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
But this immortality / will have purchased / at the price of / his immortal part.
Option 1: will have purchased
Option 2: at the price of
Option 3: his immortal part
Option 4: But this immortality
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."
