Answer: 1. The package mailed to Ms. Leslie Holmes, 3430 Larkspur Lane, San Diego, CA 92110, arrived three weeks after it was mailed.

Explanation:

When we want to correctly write an address, we need to use commas. In most of the cases, a comma is used before the name of the city and the state. Before the zip code, a comma is usually not inserted. Therefore, in this case, we need to put a comma before San Diego (the city), and California (the state). Between California and 92110 (the zip code), a comma is not used. The only option that contains these two commas, and does not use a comma before the zip code is the first one.
