Question:

In the following sentence, there is a missing article. Select the missing article from the options given below:
He liked______yellow shirt in the shop and bought it.

Options:

The

An

A

None of these

Correct Answer:

The

Explanation:

The correct answer is OPTION 1 - "The"

He liked the yellow shirt in the shop and bought it.

  • "The" is a definite article, used when referring to a specific noun that both the speaker and the listener are aware of.

  • In this sentence, "the yellow shirt" refers to a specific shirt that the person saw and liked in the shop.

OTHER OPTIONS

  • "An"  (Incorrect, because "yellow" starts with a consonant sound, and "an" is used before vowel sounds.)

  • "A"  (Incorrect, because "a" is used for non-specific nouns, but here the sentence refers to a specific shirt.)

  • "None of these"  (Incorrect, because an article is required.)
