Question

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
There is __________ horror film on _______ TV tonight. [Advanced]

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

Answer 1

The correct option is D a / no article

1. An/A' is used as an indefinite article for a thing or person when the reader doesn't know which one we are referring to out of many nouns. It states the random nature of the subject.
2. 'The' is used as a definite article for a thing or person when the reader knows which one we are exactly referring to. It states the specific nature of the subject.

Option D is correct as 'A' is used for words with a consonant sound & the second blank requires no article to provide meaning to the sentence.Option A is incorrect as The' refers to a particular subject & shows the uniqueness of the subjects of which the readers are aware of. The TV means a particular TV here. Option B is incorrect as 'An' in the first blank doesn't go with 'Horror' having a consonant sound. 'An' is used for words with a vowel sound. Option C is incorrect because the first blank requires an article to provide meaning to the sentence.
