* "Avail of" is usually followed by a noun or pronoun. You use "avail of" to mean "to take advantage of something."
* "Or" connects two similar things. In this case, "the" and "himself" are not similar.
Here are some ways to make the phrase grammatically correct:
1. Use "or" correctly:
* "He can avail himself of the opportunity or decline it."
2. Use a different preposition:
* "He can take advantage of the opportunity or himself."
3. Use "avail" as a verb:
* "The opportunity can avail him, or he can choose to ignore it."
