The correct answer is Option (1) → A lion is a dangerous animal.
A. "A lion is a dangerous animal."
- This sentence uses the indefinite article "a" before both instances of "lion" and "dangerous animal." The use of "a" indicates that the speaker is referring to any lion in general, not a specific one.
B. "Lion is dangerous animal."
- This sentence lacks any articles. While it is understandable, it is grammatically incorrect in English. Articles are necessary for grammatical correctness.
C. "The lion is dangerous animal."
- This sentence uses the definite article "the" before "lion" but lacks an article before "dangerous animal." This structure suggests that the speaker is referring to a specific lion, but it doesn't specify the type of animal it is dangerous. Additionally, "a" should be added before "dangerous animal" to make it grammatically correct.
D. "Lion is the dangerous animal."
- This sentence lacks an article before "lion" and uses the definite article "the" before "dangerous animal." However, this sentence does not make sense because it implies that "lion" is the only dangerous animal, which is not true.
