Correct Answer: against the wall


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation : The reason for choosing "against the wall" as the most appropriate option is that it accurately conveys the idea that the ladder is positioned in contact with the wall. Placing a ladder "against the wall" suggests that the ladder is leaning on the vertical surface for support, which aligns with the common way people use ladders to climb up walls or reach higher places.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The child put a ladder against the wall and climbed up."
