Choose the sentence in which the article is used incorrectly:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Last summer we went to Mahabaleshwar by the car.
No article after “by” with a way of travel:
The given sentence says “by the car”. This is wrong. When “by” tells us how we travel (by bus, by train, by car), the noun after it takes no article.
Corrected: Last summer we went to Mahabaleshwar by car.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Grandfather reads a few pages of the Gita every morning. This sentence is correct. “The” comes before the name of a holy book, such as the Gita or the Ramayana.
Option 3: Our school runs a free library for the blind. This sentence is correct. “The” before a describing word such as “blind” means all people of that kind.
Option 4: Sunita wants to become an astronaut one day. This sentence is correct. A job takes “a” or “an”, and “astronaut” begins with a vowel sound, so it takes “an”.
