Question

Complete the sentence with the correct word from the given options.

He could see ____ boy on a bicycle delivering newspapers, and two dogs playing in the park opposite.

• A. A
• B. The
• C. An
• D. That

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

A

Option C) is incorrect because the word boy starts with a consonant and not a vowel. Option D) cannot be used here because we use 'that', 'this', etc. when we refer to an object that has been mentioned before, unlike in the given context. The sentence talks in general about 'boy' and 'two dogs playing' in the park and so we cannot use a definitive article. So, the correct word to fill in the blank is option A) a.
