The correct answer is option 4), i.e., 'with.'

Key Points

  • The error lies in Part (at) of the sentence.
  • As per instructions, the remaining portion of the sentence is correct.
  • Lets look at the use of the prepositions in the given options:
  • 'For' is used to denote intention to give; purpose; the result of something; show an amount of time or distance.
  • 'On' is used to denote when a thing is touching the surface of a place; to denote dates and days.
  • 'Above' is used to indicate something higher than something else; to indicate something higher in amount, or to indicate writings in an earlier part
  • 'With' is used to say that people or things are in a place together; to denote an instrument; to show a particular emotion toward someone or something.
  • In the given sentence, Rajesh is feeling angry (which is an emotion) towards himself for making a silly mistake during the examination, so the correct preposition to use is "with".
  • Example:
    • She seems very happy with the new job.
  • Therefore, in the erroneous part, the use of 'at' in the sentence should be replaced with 'with' to make it grammatically correct.
  • Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.
 

Correct sentence: Rajesh was angry with himself for making a silly mistake during the examination.

Important Points

  • Angry with is used when referring to people or animals.
  • Example:
    • I was angry with my friend Tom for driving my car. 
    • I was angry with my dog when he ran away. 
  • Angry at is used when referring to objects or nouns (not people or animals).
