Correct Answer: (2)


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

Cope with is the correct phrase, which means to deal with or manage a difficult situation. The phrase cope up with should be replaced with cope with to make the sentence grammatically accurate.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "He lost heart because he could not cope with the difficulties in life."
