Question

Fill in the blank with the correct option.
I saw _____ movie last night.

• A. The
• B. A
• C. An
• D. One

Answer 1

The correct option is B A

1. 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.
2. '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 B is correct as 'A' as an article suits the blank as 'a movie' implies any movie that is random in nature. 'A' is used with singular countable noun. Option C is incorrect because 'An' is used with a word having a vowel sound. An movie is incorrect. Option A is incorrect as 'The' indicates a particular movie mentioned previously in the passage. Option D is incorrect as an article is required to carry out the meaning of the sentence.
