Question

Fill in the blank with the correct or no article:
I have a red and _____ black dress.
(where the same dress is both red and black)

• A. a
• B. an
• C. the
• D. No Article

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

No Article

The dress mentioned in the sentence is a single dress, with a combination of two colours, by adding an article to the blank, we change the meaning of the sentence, making it two dresses. Hence option D is correct. Option A is incorrect because an article is not to be used. Similarly, options B and C are incorrect as an article is not required to fill the blank as we already have an article 'a' modifying our noun 'dress'.
