Correct Answer: make sure your family don't


Solution : The error lies in the third option .

The error is in the subject-verb agreement, as don't should not be used with the singular subject your family , and it should be replaced with doesn't to maintain the subject-verb agreement.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "If you want to help bees, make sure your family doesn't use pesticides in your yard."
