Question

Pick out the best option from those given below that complete the sentence correctly and meaningfully.

A person is more likely to die in ___ car accident than in _____ aircraft accident.

• A. An, An
• B. A, An
• C. A, The
• D. The, An

Answer 1

The correct option is B A, An

Here, the sentence is talking in the general sense and so we need to use the indefinite articles and not the the definite article 'the'.

We need to look at two common nouns here car and aircraft where 'car' begins with a consonant and 'aircraft' with a vowel. So, the article we should use for 'car' is 'a' and for 'aircraft' is 'an'. The correct option, thus, is option B) a, an.
