<p>(As they do) almost every February, shower threaten (to disrupt) traffic, which (will be coming) to a standstill (at the height) of rush hour. (No error)</p>
<p>The correct answer is (will be coming). What’s wrong with the original sentence and what would “will be coming” be changed to?
Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>I think it should be “comes” since you have “threaten” and not “will threaten”</p>
<p>Verbs should remain consistent (or parallel) in tense or form throughout a sentence.
“Threaten” is present tense. “Will be coming” is future tense.<br>
“Will be coming” should be changed to “come” in order to keep all the verbs in present tense. </p>
<p>I think it should be comeS since it refers to traffic</p>
<p>@gr8app I wasn’t even paying attention to the subject. I was just saying it needed to be present tense and saying what rule applied. </p>
<p>didn’t realize that. I guess we’re both right then</p>
