Correct Answer: (2)


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

Explanation : We should consider the appropriate preposition after the adjective "guilty". When expressing guilt or responsibility for an action, the preposition "of" is used. The correct phrase is guilty of followed by the action, i.e., killing .

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "He is guilty of killing an innocent bird."
