Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The error lies in the second option.

The error in the second part is that "Johns" should have an apostrophe, making it "John's", to indicate possession. This helps in conveying the intended meaning that the book belongs to John.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be "This is John's book on the table".
