Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
The phrase "of acting' should be replaced with "to act" to convey the intended meaning that the acting ability of the speaker's brother was recognised at a very young age.
The infinitive form "to act" is used to indicate the purpose of the action.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: My brother's ability to act was recognised at a very young age.
