Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The error is in option two.

The correct sentence should be " John's book is on the table"

The subject "this" is redundant in this sentence. The remaining sentence is complete and conveys the intended meaning. The phrase "on the table" is a prepositional phrase that describes the location of John's book. In this context, it's better to place this phrase at the end of the sentence to make the sentence flow more smoothly and convey the information more clearly.
