Articles Verbal MCQs with Answer - Exercise I

The correct answer is b) an.
The word "absurd" starts with a vowel sound, so we use the indefinite article "an".
The sentence could be written as:
It is an absurd story.

The other options are incorrect because:
"a" is used before nouns that start with a consonant sound.
"the" is used before a specific noun.
No article is used when the noun is unspecific.

The sentence would be:
"She wants to become an engineer."
Explanation:
Use an before words that start with a vowel sound (e.g., engineer).
"Engineer" starts with a vowel sound, so "an" is appropriate.

The sentence would be:
"She is an artist and paints beautiful pictures."
Explanation:
Use an before words that start with a vowel sound (e.g., artist).
"Artist" starts with a vowel sound, so "an" is appropriate.
