Explanation:

• An editing method or technique known as error correction is used to identify errors or mistakes in a sentence or passage, such as grammatical errors, incorrect usage of prepositions or conjunctions, articles, and tense verb usage, and transform them into unambiguous, error-free, and factually correct sentences or passages.

• Editing a passage that hasn't been seen has to do with making corrections like adding the right words and correcting the passage's grammar to make it more meaningful.

• These corrections could be for an error in use, grammar, or improper grammar.

• Even though they are sometimes confused with grammatical errors, factual errors, logical fallacies, spelling mistakes, typographical errors, and incorrect punctuation are often distinct from them.

Therefore, the edited/corrected passage will be-

It is said that a rich man’s son came back from a famous university. On the day of his arrival, there was a great activity.

The son was anxious to show off his learning. He said, "I can prove you to be wrong." The father asked how he could do that. The son was finally outwitted and felt ashamed of his folly.
