Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

The sentence is improved by replacing "of" with "in" because "in" is the correct preposition to use when indicating the location or place associated with something. This change makes the sentence grammatically correct and precise, meaning that London is among the oldest towns located in England.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "London is one of the oldest towns in England."
