Correct Answer: salary of their living


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

Explanation: In the phrase "salary of their living" the error is with the use of "of" instead of "for". The correct preposition "for" should be used to indicate the purpose for which the salary is used.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Both of my parents are dependent on my salary for their living.
