The mood shift in this sentence is from a suggestion to a question. The first part of the sentence presents a suggestion - "We could go to the mall" - but the second part of the sentence changes the mood to a question - "would you rather shop online?" This shift could be corrected by rephrasing the second part of the sentence to match the mood of the first part. Example: "We could go to the mall, but do you prefer shopping online instead?" This phrasing maintains the mood of the original suggestion while still offering an alternative option.
