Identify the word or phrase that needs to be changed for the sentence to be correct: Pale sunlight filters from the trees, throwing veiled patches of hold onto the brown river where cattle drink under the watchful eye of a young herdsman.
Correct answer: A. From
- A. From
- B. Onto
- C. Under
- D. Of
Explanation
Option A is correct because in this case, the use of the preposition 'from' is inappropriate because it is used to refer to the place from where someone or something originates. Instead 'through' should be used because it is used for any process from one end or side of something to the other.

About Error Detection
Error detection requires finding faults in sentence structure, grammar, usage, spelling or punctuation and identifying the correction. The work draws on agreement, tense, pronoun reference, articles, prepositions, modifiers and parallel structure, so the incorrect part must be judged within the complete sentence rather than in isolation.
