Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
Explanation : The phrase "from burning'' should be replaced with ''from being burnt''. "From being burnt" indicates the circumstance or reason under which the thief escaped. It is the passive form of someone burning the thief. It suggests that the thief avoided being burnt, and this was possible because the noble king pardoned him.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The thief escaped from being burnt as the noble King pardoned him."
