Explanation:

1. In the first sentence, "disposition" is used correctly to mean a person's temperament or character. The second sentence misuses "disposition" as it should be "position" (a place). The third sentence misuses it as "disposition" doesn't mean physical ability for an activity. The fourth sentence misuses it as "disposal" (the act of getting rid of something) would be more appropriate.
2. "Adversary" means an opponent or enemy. An "opponent in a race" is an adversary. A "villain’s relationship to a hero" is that of an adversary. A "supporter in a fight" is not an adversary. A "lifelong companion who suddenly dies" has no relation to the meaning of "adversary".

Answer:

1. It didn't occur to Rudy that he didn't have friends because he had a generally unpleasant disposition.
2. opponent in a race, a villain’s relationship to a hero
