The correct answer is 'A'. The sentence should be corrected by changing "recommends" to "recommend".

Explicação

## Step 1
The sentence in question is: "Maria's mentor, Mrs Hampton, and I highly recommends that you accept Maria Hinojosa into the University of Texas at Austin."

## Step 2
The subject of the sentence is "Maria's mentor, Mrs Hampton, and I". This is a compound subject, which means it consists of more than one noun. In this case, the nouns are "Maria's mentor", "Mrs Hampton", and "I".

## Step 3
The verb that follows the subject should agree with the subject in number. Since the subject is plural (it consists of more than one noun), the verb should also be plural.

## Step 4
The verb "recommends" is singular, which does not agree with the plural subject. The correct verb should be "recommend".
