Correct Answer: a narrowest street


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation : When comparing something to everything else in its category, the superlative form is used. The use of "a" is incorrect because it combines the indefinite article "a" with the superlative form, which is grammatically inconsistent. The correction ensures proper usage of the superlative form with the definite article "the".

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Although this is the narrowest street , many large trucks can enter it."
