| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) Sanskrit is a difficult language | (III) a | "Difficult" begins with a consonant sound, and "a difficult language" means one language of that kind, so the indefinite article "a" is used. |
| (B) Joshuna got the best gift | (IV) the | A superlative (best) takes the definite article "the". |
| (C) Gold is a precious metal | (I) no article | Names of materials and metals spoken of in general (gold, iron, milk) take no article. |
| (D) You will take only an hour to reach my place | (II) an | In "hour" the h is silent, so the word begins with a vowel sound and takes "an". |
