Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable article:

We need petrol. I hope we reach ______ petrol station soon. (Any petrol station)

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

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

a

We use an indefinite article in front of a singular countable noun. Option C is incorrect as 'The' is used as a definite article for a particular noun, not for any petrol station in this case. Option B is incorrect as 'An' can't be used with a word beginning with a consonant. Option D doesn't carry forward the true sense of the sentence. Hence option A is correct.
