Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The correct choice is the second option .
Explanation : The reason for the error is the preposition used after "overwhelmed". One should use "overwhelmed with" when expressing the cause of the overwhelming emotion. So, the correct preposition to use is "with" to convey the idea that the old man was overwhelmed due to joy.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The old man was overwhelmed with joy at the success of his only son."
