Tina is studying at ________ university in __________ U.S.A.

• A. the, no article
• B. an, no article
• C. a, an
• D. a, the

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

a, the

'Tina is studying at a university in the U.S.A.'

The first blank will be filled with the indefinite article 'a'. Though the word following the blank starts with the vowel 'u' but as the word 'university' starts with a consonant sound, 'a' shall be used in the first blank.

And whenever 'U.S.A.' is mentioned, the definite article 'the' comes before it.

So, the correct option is D) a,the.
