Article MCQ Questions and Answers | English Aptitude MCQ

An indefinite article is used when we are talking generally about something whereas a definite article is used when we are talking about something specific.
The indefinite articles are 'a' and 'an'. 'An' is used before a word starting with a vowel or vowel sound. 'A' is used before a word starting with a consonant or consonant sound.
As 'dollar' is a singular countable noun and starts with the consonant 'd', the blank will take 'a'.

When a specific word or place is to be emphasized, the article "the" is used.
For example, the Sun, the Earth, etc.
Here, the speaker is referring to a particular school that the two people study at.

A demonstration is an act of showing by giving proof or an evidence.

"An" is used before "evidence" because "evidence" starts with a vowel sound, and the indefinite article "an" is used to make the sentence flow smoothly before vowel sounds.

Option A: a is incorrect because "a" is used before words starting with consonant sounds, but "evidence" starts with a vowel sound.

Option C: the is incorrect because "evidence" is being introduced for the first time, so we need the indefinite article "an" rather than the definite article "the".

Option D: no article is incorrect because "evidence" is a countable noun in this context, so it needs an article, and "an" is appropriate here.

Conclusion: The correct answer is Option B: an, as it correctly follows the rule of using "an" before a word that starts with a vowel sound.

Therefore, the correct answer is the.
