Correct Answer: The girl besides you


Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.

Explanation: "Beside" indicates a position next to or at the side of someone or something, while "besides" is used to mean in addition to or apart from. In this context, the intention is to convey the position of the girl next to "you," so "beside" is the appropriate choice.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: " The girl beside you in high heels is my younger sister."
