Answer 1

The error in the program that needs to be fixed is:

**The first line needs a colon at the end.**

The correct definition of the function should have a colon (`:`) at the end of the `def` line. It should look like this:

```python
def sum(num1, num2):
return num1 + num2
```

This change will fix the syntax error in the function definition.
