Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The correct choice is the first option "in".
In the sentence "Sunita's sister had ribbons on her hair," the preposition "on" is used to indicate the location of the ribbons. However, when we talk about putting ribbons in someone's hair, the more appropriate preposition to use is "in".
"On" typically refers to something resting or located on the surface of an object or body, while "in" suggests that the ribbons are inside or within the hair, which is the intended meaning of the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is "Sunita's sister had ribbons in her hair".
