Nobody from the gathering of odd people could guess the accident occurring blast.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. the accident occurring blast.

"Accident occurring blast" does not form a proper noun phrase.

The correct phrase should be "the blast caused by the accident" or "the accidental blast".

"Blast" is occured due to accident, but "accident occurring blast" is ambiguous in the sense that it confuses if between the reason and the result.

Corrected sentence: Nobody from the gathering of odd people could guess the accidental blast (or, the blast caused by the accident).
