Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The first option is the correct improvement for the sentence.
In this sentence, there is a subject-verb agreement issue. The subject is considered singular as the uncle and mentor are referred to as the same person. So, it should be followed by a singular verb i.e., is . However, the verb are is in the plural form, which is incorrect here.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "My uncle and mentor is helping me."
