Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The sentence can be improved by using the second alternative .
"In" is the correct preposition, which should be used to make the sentence grammatically accurate and convey the intended meaning of the sentence. It means that the commoners joined in crushing the rebels, because "join in" means to take part in an activity.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: The commoners joined the king's army in crushing the rebels.
