Your question starts wrong, should start 'Which'.
1. How can you sit in traffic? You can sit in your car in traffic.
2. I have had some good news - I got the job.
3. You don't take exams anywhere, you SIT exams, and can't sit them ALL the week, some hours perhaps each day! She certainly would be exhausted if she sat the WHOLE week.
Or am I being too suspicious of the question?? Waiting for a punch line??

The 2nd one is (technically, the most) incorrect. Aside from the spelling error "goods new" which pluralizes good, changing it from an adjective to a noun, and singularizes "new", changing it from a noun to an adjective, it also has a double or redundant verb usage of the word "have". The sentence should read: "I have some good news: I got the job!." As an extra point, the sentences don't need to be separated by a period, a colon works equally as well.

I agree with everyone else that number two is wrong as well a your own question due to the spelling error, but I would also have included number one. We have been sitting in traffic. I normally sit in a car and the car should have been mentioned.

All three!
A sentence is only grammatically correct if it contains a 'finite verb'! So whilst I know this, I know also that up to this point, what I have typed may have begun with a capital letter and finished with a fullstop/fullpoint, but but neither were complete sentences, and neither is this one!
I have [Subject] confused you by now! [Compliment - containing finite verb - confused]
Anyhoo! That's the rule when composing sentences correctly, though these days nobody much seems to give a hoot about 'finite verbs', or much else when it comes to syntax! Hope I have helped! Ha ha!

Sentence 2.
I think it should read: I have some good news. I've got the job!

Two of them are bad. Your question should say:
"Which of these sentences is wrong?" (though I would use 'incorrect' rather than 'wrong.'
#2 is also incorrect. It should be:
"I have some good news. I've got the job!"
I should also point out that each part of the question contains multiple sentences.
