    The error is one of Incorrect Preposition Usage • Error: The preposition used is at (through a synthesis at empirical observation...). • Rule: The noun synthesis requires the preposition of to correctly indicate the things being combined or blended. A "synthesis of X and Y" means a combination of X and Y. • Correction: The word at must be replaced with of.
