Question

Identify the article(s) in the following sentence:
The man is flying a kite.

• A. The, a
• B. The, is
• C. The, is, a
• D. is

Answer 1

The correct option is A The, a

There are three articles namely 'a', 'an' and 'the'. 'a', 'an' are stated as indefinite articles whereas 'the' is a definite article.

Option B - 'The' is an article, 'is' is an auxiliary verb. Thus option B is incorrect.

Option C - 'The' is an article, 'is' is an auxiliary verb, and 'a' is an article. Thus option C is incorrect.

Option D - 'Is' is an auxiliary verb. Thus option D is incorrect.

Option A - 'The' is the definite article and 'a' is an indefinite article. Thus option A is the correct answer.
