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.
