The boy laughed at the beggar.

  • A.The beggar was laughed by the boy.
  • B.The beggar was being laughed by the boy.
  • C.The beggar was being laughed at by the boy
  • D.The beggar was laughed at by the boy

Answer: D

Correct answer: The beggar was laughed at by the boy

Laugh at is a prepositional verb, so at must stay with the participle; the two options dropping it leave the verb unable to reach its object. The past simple gives was laughed at, not the continuous.
