Correct Answer: 2

Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.

The phrase "ought not" is followed by an infinitive verb form. In this case, the infinitive "to have done" is needed after "ought not" to form a grammatically correct sentence. However, the auxiliary verb "ought" cannot be employed with a transitive verb unless the word "to" is included.

Therefore, the accurate sentence should be: " He ought not to have done such a filthy thing ."
