Question:

Fill in the blank with the suitable option :

Here's _________ girl who ran away with my notebook.

Options:

a

the

this

my

Correct Answer:

the

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - the

In the sentence "Here's _________ girl who ran away with my notebook," the article "the" is the most suitable because it refers to a specific girl already identified or being pointed out.

Options

  1. a

    • Incorrect: "A" is an indefinite article used to refer to any girl, not a specific one. The context here is about a particular girl.
  2. the

    • Correct: "The" is a definite article used when referring to a specific, identifiable noun, which fits the context.
  3. this

    • Incorrect: While "this" could refer to something specific, it doesn’t grammatically fit here as smoothly as "the."
  4. my

    • Incorrect: Using "my" would change the meaning, implying possession rather than identifying the girl.

      "Here's the girl who ran away with my notebook."
