Question

The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
Are you sure that / you will be broadcast / the news to everyone / across the country?

A.

across the country

B.

Are you sure that

C.

you will be broadcast

D.

the news to everyone

Correct option is C


Option (c) contains an error.
The segment "you will be broadcast" is incorrect because "broadcast" is not properly used in the passive voice here. The verb "broadcast" should be in its past participle form, which is also "broadcast," when used in passive constructions.
· The correct phrasing should be "you will be broadcasting" if the action is ongoing, or "you will have broadcast" if the action is completed by the future moment being discussed.
· Grammatical rule used: In passive voice constructions, the verb should be in the past participle form. However, "broadcast" remains "broadcast" in both its base and past participle forms. The error arises from the misuse of passive structure here.
