Question

Choose the correct option to fill in the blank:

K.R. Dhiraj was _____ best playwright of his time. He was also _____ famous singer.

• A. a, the most
• B. the, a most
• C. the, a very
• D. the, the very

Answer 1

The correct option is C the, a very

The correct answer is Option C.

As a rule article 'the' is used with the superlative degree and article 'a' is used while talking about something in general.

In the given sentence, Dhiraj was 'the' best playwright of his time (superlative degree) and 'a very' famous singer (general statement).

Therefore Option C- THE, A VERY is the correct answer.

The remaining options do not comply with this rule and hence are incorrect.
