Correct Answer: a correct address


Solution : The error lies in the third option.

The error lies in the indefinite article a being used before correct address, but the sentence requires the definite article the to specify a particular, specific address. The definite article the is used before a noun to indicate that it is a particular one that is already known, has been mentioned before or is specific in the context.

The correct sentence is: "Can you make sure you have the correct address before you start driving?"
