Explanation:
In this sentence, the error lies in the compound adjective "two year old." When expressing the age of a person or object, it is necessary to hyphenate the numbers and the nouns they modify. Therefore, the correct format is "two-year-old" instead of "two year old." This hyphenation clarifies that the words "two," "year," and "old" together function as a single adjective modifying the noun "daughter." The hyphens help avoid confusion or misinterpretation of the sentence.
