The given sentence should be written as shown below:

Is this the book that you wanted to buy?

Explanation:

The book being referred to is a definite book; both the speaker and the listener know which book is being talked about. Hence, the definite article should be used. 'The' is the definite article; 'a' is an indefinite article.

Is this the book that you wanted to buy?

Explanation:

  • In the sentence, the error is in the use of the article.
  • The indefinite article 'a' has been used instead of the definite article 'the'.

  • The use of definite article focuses on a particular thing which the speaker wants to specify or focus.
