Question

Identify the article which best fills in the blank:

Liz doesn't usually wear jewelry but yesterday she was wearing ______ necklace.

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

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

a

The given statement mentions the jewellery first and then an unspecific necklace which is a part of the jewellery. The noun being an indefinite member of a specific group, article 'a' would be correct because the noun 'necklace' begins with a consonant. Option B is incorrect because the noun does not begin with a vowel. 'The' is incorrect because the noun, 'necklace' is not a specific necklace. Being an indefinite count noun it requires an article, making the Option D incorrect.
