Options:

No article

Correct Answer:

The

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → The

  • The phrase "the breakfast I ordered" refers to a specific breakfast that has already been mentioned or is known to both the speaker and listener.
  • "The" is used before specific nouns that the listener can identify.

OTHER OPTIONS

 "A" – Incorrect because "a" is used for non-specific nouns, but here the speaker is referring to a particular breakfast they ordered.
  "An" – Incorrect because "an" is used before words that start with a vowel sound, and "breakfast" does not.
  "No article" – Incorrect because omitting the article would make the sentence grammatically incomplete in this case.
