Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
There is an error in the use of the appropriate preposition in the sentence. The preposition "on" should be replaced with "in" to correctly indicate the year when the Kepler Space Telescope was launched. 'On' is used for dates and days and not for years.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The Kepler Space Telescope, launched in 2009, was designed to find planets around other stars."
