Articles Verbal MCQs with Answer - Exercise I

Ques 1 Articles


It is_____absurd story.

A a
B an
C the
D no article

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.
