Correct Answer: my sister are fifteen


Solution : The correct option will be the second option.

The error is in the subject-verb agreement. "Sister" is a singular noun, so it should be paired with the singular verb "is" instead of the plural "are". The corrected sentence ensures proper agreement between the subject and the verb.

Therefore, the answer will be: I am thirty-two years old and my sister is fifteen.
