Answer 2

Answer:

Akram, you should avail yourself of this opportunity.

There is an error of preposition in this sentence. We have to replace it with the correct one.

Explanation:

• As we know, 'avail yourself of the opportunity' is a common phrase which means 'to take advantage of an opportunity'.
• It means that me accept an offer/proposal and make use of it for our benefit.
• Example: The children would avail themselves of this opportunity.
• Thus, the preposition 'to' applied with 'avail' is inaccurate and it must be replaced by 'of'.

Hence, the correct sentence is: Akram, you should avail yourself of this opportunity.
