Correct Answer: An eight years old


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

When using as an adjective, it is correct to use year-old . Thus, to make the sentence grammatically accurate, eight years old should be replaced with eight-year-old because it functions as an adjective in this sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: An eight-year-old girl has made this beautiful painting.
