Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The error lies in part (1) of the sentence. The noun 'assistance' means the act of helping or giving support, which is an abstract concept and cannot "be happy" or "have a job."
Instead, the person who helps (a human being) should be mentioned here. Therefore, the concrete noun 'assistant' must replace 'assistance' to make the sentence grammatically correct and meaningful.

Incorrect: His assistance wasn't happy with his job.

Correct: His assistant wasn't happy with his job.
