A-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III

Correct Answer:

A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I

Explanation:
  • A. An unreasonably long explanation was given by the defaulter. Here, "an" is used because "explanation" is a singular noun and it starts with a vowel sound.
  • B. The BBC is starting a new documentary. We use "the" before BBC because it is a unique entity.
  • C. The COVID Pandemic is a universal problem. "The" is used before "COVID Pandemic" because it refers to a specific and previously mentioned pandemic.
  • D. Only select volunteers are part of the UNESCO heritage campaign. No Article is required.
