| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) The men are waiting for you. | (III) the | Particular men, known to both speaker and listener, are meant, so the definite article "the" is used. "A" and "an" cannot go with a plural noun. |
| (B) Gold is a precious metal. | (IV) No Article | Names of materials and metals used in a general sense take no article. |
| (C) He does not believe a word of what I say. | (I) a | "Not ... a word" means not even one word. "Word" begins with a consonant sound. |
| (D) I need an umbrella. | (II) an | "Umbrella" begins with a vowel sound, so "an" is used. |
