Question

Fill in the blanks with the appropriate article:
___ rich should give some of their money to charities and good causes.

• A. A
• B. An
• C. The
• D. No article

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The

'A' is an indefinite article used before consonant sounds. 'An' is an indefinite article used before vowel sounds. 'The' is a definite article used before definite / specific things / superlatives / etc. 'The' is also used before adjectives which represent the entire class and not a specific person. Here, the adjective 'rich' is used without the noun and the adjective represents the entire class of rich people, not one specific rich person. The adjective is used as a noun in this case. Therefore, the correct option is: 'The.'
