Answer
A
Barney’s eyes is blue.
B
You am the tallest person in class.
C
Mrs. Melaney is a funniest teacher.
D
The player who is sitting near the bleachers are new.
E
Jorge and Daisy enjoy cooking; she have a lot of fun.

Explanation

Each sentence has a grammar error. In A, the plural subject “eyes” takes “are,” not “is”; in B, “you” takes “are,” not “am.” C should say “the funniest teacher” or “a funny teacher,” because “a” does not go with the superlative “funniest” here. In D, the singular subject “player” takes “is,” not “are.” In E, “Jorge and Daisy” is plural, so “she have” does not agree; the sentence could say “they have.”
