The correct answer is:
2
We have $\sin \theta+\operatorname{cosec} \theta=2$
Squaring both the side $\Rightarrow \quad(\sin \theta+\operatorname{cosec} \theta)^2=(2)^2$
$$
\begin{aligned}
&\Rightarrow \sin ^2 \theta+\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta+2 \sin \theta \cdot \operatorname{cosec} \theta=4 \\
&\Rightarrow \sin ^2 \theta+\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta+2=4 \Rightarrow \sin ^2 \theta+\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta=2
\end{aligned}
$$
