Question

Complete the sentence with the best possible option from those given below.

• A. A
• B. An
• C. The
• D. That

Answer 1

The correct option is C The

Articles are part of speech, used to indicate nouns and to specify their application. Definite articles (the) limit the meaning of a noun to one particular thing. Indefinite articles (a, an) indicate that a noun refers to a general idea and not a particular thing.

In the given sentence, we are talking about a particular bus that gave a signal before taking a turn. Thus, in this case, the use of a definite article is required.

Options A and B are not definite articles.

Option D - 'That' does not bring out the intended meaning. It is used to indicate that the object is not in close proximity to the speaker or something which is not present in the moment.

Thus, the correct answer will be Option C.
