Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The error is in the second part of the sentence, as "against him" is incorrect. The correct preposition to use in this context is "with". The preposition "with" is used after the adjective "disgusted" to indicate the person or thing that is the object of the feeling.

The correct sentence is: "His father is disgusted with him for his addiction to drink."
