Answer
Corrected sentences: (i) Both the sisters were seen at the party. (ii) She is one of the best students in our class.
- Incorrect: Both the sister were seen at the party. | Correct: Both the sisters were seen at the party. | Explanation: 'Both' implies more than one, so the noun must be plural — 'sisters' not 'sister'.
- Incorrect: She is one of the best student in our class. | Correct: She is one of the best students in our class. | Explanation: 'One of the best' is followed by a plural noun — 'students', not 'student'.
