The underlined prepositional phrase "from the tree" is misplaced. It currently suggests that the photographer is "from the tree," which is not the intended meaning. A clearer construction would likely place the phrase in such a way that it indicates the baboon is the one in the tree. Rephrasing it to something like "the baboon hurled it at the intrusive photographer who was on the ground, while it was in the tree" would clarify the meaning.
Identify the underlined prepositional phrase as correct or misplaced.
