Select the appropriate determiner -Article to fill in the blanks in the sentence given below:-

a, a

The correct answer is Option (3) - a, a

• "As a literary genre"

  • We use "a" before literary genre because it refers to drama as one type among many literary genres.
  • "A" is the indefinite article, which is used when referring to something that is not specific.

• "contains a number of literary elements"

  • The phrase "a number of" is a common expression meaning "several" or "many," and it always takes the indefinite article "a."
