Correct Answer: the efficient electrician


Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

  • Here, we would replace "the" with "an" to correct the sentence.
  • The definite article (the) is used to refer to specific or particular nouns.
  • The indefinite article (an) is used to modify non-specific or non-particular nouns. It is used to talk about general things or people.
  • "An" would be used before the word "efficient" as it starts with a vowel sound.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "We require an efficient electrician for changing the wiring of our house."
