subquery can only return on column not 2.

insert into (a,b,c,d,e)
select 2,3,4,c,d
from   table1
where  id = 3

yes coz you specified values, so it's looking for unit values... not result of subquer, imagine how many there are if id=3 returns more than 1 row?

try this...

insert into (a,b,c,d,e)
select 2,3,5,c,d from table1 where id=3

--------------------
keeping it simple...

That should be

insert into yourTable(a,b,c,d,e)
select 2,3,5,c,d
from   table1
where  id = 3
