The correct version of the sentence that fixes the error in the compound adjective is:
B. Millie might not be able to attend the play tonight because she still has to find someone to watch her two-year-old daughter for the night.
To understand why this is the correct version, we need to look at the compound adjective "two-year-old." In compound adjectives, when we are using multiple words to describe a noun, we usually use hyphens to connect those words together. This helps to clarify the meaning and avoid any confusion.
In this case, we are describing Millie's daughter as being "two-year-old." Instead of writing it as "two year old," which creates confusion and doesn't show that the words are connected, we should use hyphens to connect these words together: "two-year-old."
So, the correct version is "two-year-old daughter." Option B correctly uses hyphens to form the compound adjective, fixing the error in the original sentence.
