Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Mike wants to watch TV _________ tonight.

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

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

no article

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 A is correct as the blank requires no article to give meaning to the sentence. Option C is incorrect as 'An' is used with words having a vowel sound. 'An' is used with singular countable noun that are random in nature. Option D is incorrect because 'The' refers to a particular object of which the reader is aware of. Option B is incorrect because 'A' is used with words having a consonant sound.'A' is used with singular countable noun that are random in nature.
