Q: Answer-The moment you cross the resort’s grand (1)/ red-stone entrance walls, a bursting of (2)/ colourful...

The phrase a bursting of colourful flowers is grammatically incorrect. The correct idiomatic expression should be a burst of colourful flowers. The word burst refers to an eruption or a sudden appearance, which makes sense in this context, whereas bursting is a verb and doesnt fit here. Corrected sentence The moment you cross the resorts grand red-stone entrance walls, a burst of colourful flowers welcomes you and keeps you company throughout your stay.
