I also checked correlation structure of my covariates.

test <- lm(y ~ x15std)
library(DAAG)
vif(test)
x15std1  x15std2  x15std3  x15std4  x15std5  x15std6  x15std7  x15std8
x15std9 x15std10 x15std11 x15std12 x15std13 x15std14
  1.2299   1.2880   1.1011   1.1559   1.3033   1.0774   1.5369   1.9604
  1.4664   1.1754   1.1396   1.2683   1.1685   1.1667
x15std15
  1.5534

Variance inflation are less than 5 suggesting that multicollinearity is
unlikely to be a problem.

Therefore, Lasso model should be selected?

Thanks a lot in advance,
