. . . . . . . . President and . . . . . . . . S. D. O. is coming.
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option
A
Solution:
"The" is used before "President" because it refers to a specific person holding the office of President.
No article is used before "S.D.O." because "President" and "S.D.O." refer to the same person. When two titles or designations joined by "and" refer to one person, the article is generally used only before the first title.
The singular verb "is" confirms that the two designations refer to one person.
Compare:
The President and S.D.O. is coming. → Same person.
The President and the S.D.O. are coming. → Two different people.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option A — the, no article.
