They stayed only ___ day at the hotel.

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

Answer 1

The correct option is A a

OPTION "A" is the correct answer.

EXPLANATION:

There are two types of articles:

DEFINITE ARTICLE (THE) : Article 'the' is used to refer to a DEFINITE thing or person.

INDEFINITE ARTICLE(A/AN): Article 'a/an' is used to refer to a thing or person in general. For instance: man, door etc.

Article 'a' is used with consonant sounds whereas article 'an' is used with vowel sounds.

In the FIRST Blank, article "a" will be used as the sentence is referring to something general and it is used in the context of 'one' i.e they stayed at the hotel only for one day.
