Correct Answer: No correction required


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation :

The original sentence is grammatically correct. The verb "disposed" is appropriately used in the sentence to convey the idea that his temperament inclined him to argue readily with people. In this context, "disposed" is the past participle of the verb "dispose", and it works well to express a natural tendency or inclination.

So, the correct sentence is: His temperament disposed him to argue readily with people.
