Correct Answer:

mistakes

Explanation:

The correct answer is OPTION 2 - MISTAKES

A wise person is one who learns from his mistakes.

Explanation:

  • Error: This noun refers to a mistake or incorrect action, but "mistakes" is a more common and appropriate word choice in this context.
  • Mistakes: This noun refers to actions or decisions that are incorrect or misguided. It is the most suitable choice here, conveying the idea of learning from one's past errors.
  • Lies: This noun refers to intentionally false statements, which doesn't accurately fit the context of learning and personal growth.
  • Falsities: This noun refers to things that are not true or are fake, but "mistakes" better conveys the concept of learning and self-improvement.
