Punctuation of this sentence should be checked.

The French explicitly says ‘brother and sisters’. The other sentences can mean either this or ‘brother and sister’ (with both words in the singular). I suppose we should leave the plural.

Fixed the punctuation. If I were writing the sentence from scratch, I'd use a simple question mark, but it's possible to use a question mark followed by an exclamation mark (though not the other way around).
