Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
What ________ terrible news!

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

Answer 1

The correct option is 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.

The blank shall take 'a' as 'terrible news' is a singular countable noun and as the noun, 'news' is preceded by an adjective i.e. 'terrible'.

The correct answer is option A) a.

What a terrible news!
