Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks.
Besides being ______ multifaceted artist, he was _____ poet, novelist, and a painter.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The most appropriate option to fill in the blanks is: a, a
Here's why:
- "Multifaceted" is an adjective with a consonant sound ("mul-ti-fa-cet-ed").
- We use the indefinite article "a" before singular nouns or adjectives with consonant sounds.
- "Poet," "novelist," and "painter" are all singular nouns.
Therefore, we need "a" before both "multifaceted artist" and "poet."
