Choose the sentence that uses the preposition incorrectly :

Read the poem on page 50.

I live on street 10.

The kite is flying on the sky.

Put on your new clothes.

✅ Correct Option: 3

We say a kite flies in the sky, not on the sky, because sky is treated as a three-dimensional space. Option 3 uses the preposition incorrectly. The other options use on correctly for a page, a street, or the phrasal verb put on.

Note: The original paper flagged this item, possibly because I live on street 10 is also stylistically unusual; however, The kite is flying on the sky remains the clearest grammatical error.
