I'd like to see which ones are right or not? What are the difference of meaning in right ones? In my thinking, I think #1,2,3 are right and They have the differences of nuance. then I'd like to check out by your help. I'mn't sure #4 is right. If #4 was right, what's the meaning? Maybe #4 seems like #3.
Would you please explain about above?

Top answer
Sorry, but only #2 is a possible preposition, and even that one is strange in the present tense and in its non-native structure. This is the expected: This morning, I heard my mother making breakfast and woke up early.
