Question

Fill in the blank [14] with suitable article from the options given:

• A. The
• B. A
• C. An
• D. No article required

Answer 1

The correct option is A The

When the noun is specified in the sentence, we consider it as a definite noun. In the same way, here the height of the mountain is specified in the sentence as 8840 metres, hence we can say that 'height' is a definite noun.

Hence, we will use 'the' before the definite noun 'height.'

Thus option A is the correct answer.

Options B, C and D are incorrect.

'The height was finally calculated as 88420 metres.'
