Correct Answer: avail this opportunity


Solution : The error lies in the third option .

The verb avail typically needs an object and should be followed by the reflexive pronoun yourself or another object, followed by the preposition of.

.Therefore, the correct sentence is, " You should avail yourself of this opportunity to demonstrate your skills".
