Correct Answer: (2)


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

The compound noun "sister-in-law" is formed by combining the nouns "sister" and "in-law". When pluralising a compound noun, we add 's' to the main noun, "sister" in this case. Thus, the correct plural form is "sisters-in-law".

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "I had invited all my sisters-in-law to my son's birthday party."
