Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
She is wearing __________ unusual dress.

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

Answer 1

The correct option is D an

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 'unusual' is a complement to the noun 'dress', and starts with the vowel 'u', the blank shall take 'an'.

She is wearing an unusual dress.

The correct answer is option D) an.
