Excerpt from Norse Mythology Part D
Kate McConnaughey

Then Loki, the spirit of evil, will break loose from the fetters with which the gods have bound him. (31) The frost giants join him. They will try to make a secret attack on the gods. But Heimdall, the sentry of heaven, will be on guard at the end of the rainbow-bridge. He needs no more sleep than a bird and can see for a hundred miles either by day or night.
Read the passage. Look at the underlined section marked number (31). There may be a mistake in the way the sentence is written. If you find a mistake, choose the answer that corrects the mistake. If there is no mistake, choose ‘Correct as is.’
A) Correct as is.
B) The frost giants joined him.
C) The frost giants will join him.
D) The frost giants could join him.

Answer 1

C) The frost giants will join him. The reason for this is that the rest of the paragraph is written in future tense except for that sentence.

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer that corrects the mistake is The frost giants will join him.

Explanation:

To have a coherent and cohesive writing it has to keep continuity in the conjugation of the verbs and general structure of sentences to have parallelism between them, this is the only sentence that is not following the structure of a future tense sentence with the use of the modal "will", then by changing it the paragraph has a correct structure.
