| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) Cats love comfort. | (III) No Article | A plural noun used in a general sense (all cats) takes no article. |
| (B) He was the first man to arrive. | (I) the | "The" is used before ordinal numbers (first, second) because only one person can be first. |
| (C) One evening a beggar came to my door. | (II) a | The beggar is mentioned for the first time and is not a particular one. "Beggar" begins with a consonant sound, so "a". |
| (D) Have you never seen an elephant? | (IV) an | "Elephant" is a singular noun beginning with a vowel sound, so "an". |
