Choose the correct option to fill in the blank in the sentence.
'Can you speak in _____ Sanskrit?'
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → No Article
Here's why:
- Sanskrit is a specific, identifiable language, not a general concept. Therefore, using articles like "a" or "the" wouldn't be appropriate.
- Languages, in general, are often used without articles when referred to in a broad sense. This is because the focus is on the ability to speak the language, not on a specific variety or instance of it.
- Hence it would be "Can you speak in Sanskrit?"
