Question

Fill in the blank with the correct option:

You must pay _____ visit to your brothers

• A. the
• B. an
• C. a few
• D. a

Answer 1

The correct option is D 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 C is incorrect as 'a few' is used inappropriately as 'A few' is used with plural countable noun. Option A is incorrect as 'The' doesn't suit with the meaning of the sentence. It says about a particular visit but we don't know which one it is. Option B is incorrect as 'An' cannot be used with a word having a consonant at the beginning. Option D is correct as 'A' is used as an indefinite article for a word beginning with a consonant.
