Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable article:
______ bravery is a virtue.

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

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

No article

An/A' is used as an indefinite article for a thing or person when the reader doesn't know which one we are referring to out of many nouns. It states the random nature of the subject.

'The' is used as a definite article for a thing or person when the reader knows which one we are exactly referring to. It states the specific nature of the subject.

Option D is correct as we usually don't use articles in front of an uncountable noun. Option B is incorrect as 'An' is used as the article for words with a vowel sound. Option A is incorrect as using the definite article won't suit the meaning of the sentence. Option C is incorrect as 'A bravery' sounds illogical and wouldn't provide meaning to the sentence.
