To properly use the word 'derision,' the sentence should reflect its meaning of mockery or ridicule. A corrected sentence could be: 'When the basketball player missed the easy shot, the crowd erupted in derision, laughing and jeering at his failure.' This accurately captures the intended use of 'derision.'
