Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.

There is an error in the subject-verb agreement in the sentence.

The verb have should be replaced with has to convey the intended meaning that the speaker's sister-in-law, who resided in Chennai had come to stay with them.

The subject sister-in-law is singular and thus should be followed by the singular form of the verb, has to conform to the subject-verb agreement.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "My sister-in-law who lives in Chennai has come to stay with us."
