Correct Answer: are interested to come


Solution : The error lies in the third option.

The error is using the plural verb "are" instead of the singular "is" because "neither of my sisters" is a singular subject. Therefore, the correct form is, "is interested". This maintains the proper subject-verb agreement.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Neither of my sisters is interested in coming on a vacation with me."
