Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Please lend me _________ dollar.

• A. a
• B. an
• C. any
• D. a few

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

a

An indefinite article is used when we are talking generally about something whereas a definite article is used when we are talking about something specific.

The indefinite articles are 'a' and 'an'. An is used before a word starting with a vowel or vowel sound. A is used before a word starting with a consonant or consonant sound.

A definite article is an article that tells the uniqueness of something.

'The' is the only definite article .

As 'dollar' is a singular countable noun and starts with the consonant 'd', the blank will take 'a'.

Please lend me a dollar.

The correct answer is option A) a.
