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."
