| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) An unreasonably long explanation was given by the defaulter. | (III) an | "Unreasonably" begins with a vowel sound (un-), so the indefinite article is "an". |
| (B) The BBC is starting a new documentary. | (IV) the | Abbreviations of the names of organisations read letter by letter, such as the BBC or the UN, take "the". |
| (C) The COVID Pandemic is a universal problem. | (II) a | "Universal" begins with the consonant sound "yu", so it takes "a", not "an". |
| (D) Only select volunteers are part of the UNESCO heritage campaign. | (I) No article | The sentence opens with "Only" and the plural "select volunteers", spoken of in general, so no article is needed. |
