The error lies in part 2.

The sentence uses the adverb 'quite', which means to a certain level; which is incorrect here. Given the context, the correct word here should be the adjective 'quiet', which means making no noise.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.

Correct sentence - The students $were exceptionally quiet today when the teacher came.$
