Question

______ Taj Mahal is situated in Agra. Fill in the blank using correct article.

• A. A
• B. An
• C. The
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The

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 C is correct as 'The' indicates the unique nature of the noun, Taj Mahal. Option A is incorrect as 'A Taj Mahal' indicates any random object of Taj Mahal type. Option B is incorrect because 'An' is used with a word having a vowel sound. An Taj Mahal is wrong. Option D is incorrect as an article is required to carry out the meaning of the sentence.
