Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.

The use of the word accuse, which means "to charge someone with an offence or crime", is not appropriate in this context.

Accuse should be replaced with the word excuse, which means a reason, either true or invented, that one gives to explain or defend one’s behaviour.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "He had no excuse for attacking that old man".
