    Solution

    Here, the word ‘climatic’ is incorrect. It means ‘relating to general weather conditions’. The correct word is ‘climactic’, which means ‘forming or relating to the most important or exciting point in a story or situation, especially when this happens near the end’. The climactic scene in which the local Mafiosi close in on the inspector is bone chilling and unforgettable.
