Answer:

The verb phrase that corrects the error in the sentence is the following one: Will be closed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem with the sentence above is that it needs the verb to be in the future tense (will be closed) instead of being in the past tense (had been closed). The sentence contains a time phrase (this coming Friday) that indicates that the event referred to (the library being closed) has not happened yet. Therefore, the correct verb phrase is future with will.
