Janet tired 'to comfort' her little brother 'when he lost' his turtle and helped 'him find' a better pet 'than their sister'.

Where is the error? I don't know if there is one.

tired should be tired

I don't see any other error.

She tried to help him find a better pet than his sister?? Really? His sister is a pet?

Wow!

How else can you phrase the last part of this sentence so the sister is not compared to a pet?

Error: de

The error in the sentence is the incorrect use of verb tense. The phrase "Janet tired 'to comfort'" should be corrected to "Janet tried to comfort." The verb "tired" should be changed to "tried" to indicate that Janet made an effort to comfort her little brother.
