Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The correct answer is the third option.
The participle phrase "looking through the window" is best placed at the beginning of the sentence to clarify what the subject, "he," was doing at the time. Placing it at the beginning also helps avoid confusion in the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, " Looking through the window, he saw the beggar standing right there."
