Suggested: Month-wise Current Affairs | Upcoming Government Exams
Correct Answer: to go abroad
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Explanation : The error lies in the structure of the verb after the causative verb "prevented". The correct form should be "prevented him from going abroad for higher studies". The use of "from" is crucial to form the correct structure with the verb "going". When expressing prevention or hindrance, the preposition "from" is necessary to connect the causative verb to the action that is being stopped.
So, the correct sentence would be: "His father prevented him from going abroad for higher studies."
