| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) He is the best doctor in town. | (III) the | A superlative (best) takes the, because only one person can be the best. |
| (B) It is a university in Delhi. | (I) a | "University" begins with a "yoo" (consonant) sound, so it takes a, not "an". |
| (C) This is bad. | (IV) No article | "Bad" is an adjective used alone after "is", with no noun after it; an article is used only before a noun (phrase). |
| (D) I came here an hour ago. | (II) an | The "h" of "hour" is silent; the word begins with a vowel sound, so it takes an. |
