Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.

The preposition on should be used in place of in in the sentence. The choice of the preposition ("in" or "on") depends on the context and the specific emphasis. If one wants to emphasise that the test is primarily about mathematical problems, "in mathematics" is more appropriate. If one wants to indicate that mathematics is one of the subjects, "on mathematics" can be used.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: I had a test on mathematics today morning.
