Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have some errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No error".
He laughed (1) / on her (2) / as she fell off the tree. (3) / No error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
The preposition on should be replaced with at because we typically use "laughed at" to indicate that someone is making fun of or mocking another person. Laugh is followed by the preposition at.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "He laughed at her as she fell off the tree."
