Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The error is in part (C) "great." The word "great" is an adjective, but it's being used to modify the verb "change." Adjectives cannot modify verbs - we need an adverb for this purpose. The correct word should be "greatly." The sentence should read "Weather is the transitory expression of climate that can change greatly from day to day or season to season."
