Choose the correct article from the options.
My sister will come in ___ day or two.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → A
Complete sentence: My sister will come in a day or two. “In a day or two” is a fixed phrase. It means soon, after one or two days.
| Option | When to use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) A (answer) | means one here, and goes before a consonant sound | The results will be out in a week or two. |
| (2) An | comes before a vowel sound. “Day” begins with a consonant sound | The doctor will see you in an hour or two. |
| (3) The | points to a particular day already known. The sentence does not name any particular day | She came on the day of the wedding. |
| (4) No article | plural or uncountable nouns used in a general sense. “Day” is a singular noun that can be counted, so it needs an article (“In day or two” is wrong) | Days get longer in summer. |
