Question:

Select the appropriate Determiner - Article to fill in the blanks in the sentence given below:-

Rocky is introduced in ________ early sequence in ________ first.

Options:

a, an

an, the

the, a

the, the

Correct Answer:

an, the

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - an, the

"an" before "early": "Early" begins with a vowel sound. We use "an" before words that begin with a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u) to make pronunciation smoother. It's "an early sequence," not "a early sequence."
"the" before "first": "First" is an ordinal number (first, second, third, etc.). We generally use "the" before ordinal numbers when referring to a specific one. It's "the first act," not "a first act." We are specifying which act Rocky is introduced in.
