Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: The segment "we are not be able" contains the grammatical error.
Explanation: This sentence uses a first conditional structure to talk about a future consequence. In a first conditional, the condition clause uses the present simple and the result clause uses 'will' + base verb.
Correct structure: If + present simple, then will + base verb.
Why the original is wrong: 'are not be able' mixes auxiliary forms and is ungrammatical. The result clause should be 'we will not be able' to show the future consequence.
Correct sentence: If the weather remains this bad, we will not be able to play badminton.
