Why do you travel by . . . . . bus?
A. a
B. an
C. the
D. none of the above
Answer: Option A
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Using "a" and "the" depends on how specific or general we want to be when talking about something."A" is used for a non-specific or generic reference. For example, "I travel by a bus" implies any bus in general.
"The" is used when referring to a specific instance or when both the speaker and the listener know which particular bus is being discussed. For instance, "I travel by the bus" could imply a specific bus service or route that is commonly known between the speaker and the listener.
In the above question "Why do you travel by a bus" is more appropriate because it is a general talk rather than any specific bus service or route.
Therefore, option A is the correct answer here.
This Question Belongs to Competitive English >> Grammar
I think no article is needed here.
We say : travel by train; travel by bus,etc. Not 'by a bus'
We can use THE article for making it particular and also article A is sweetable to modify it only one. To conclude I am totally confuse to see the option D.
Why D option is correct ?
You can say either "by bus" or "on the bus." (American usage.) The most natural way to say it would be "My daughter takes the bus to school" - but that doesn't answer your preposition question. Grammar Geek You can say either "by bus" or "on the bus." (American usage.)
I think this question is complete without any article
A is Correct Because we must use an article with single countable noun.

HI TEAM I JUST JOINED YOUR PLATFORM AND I AM A NEW MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY I WANT TO KNOW THE ANSWER OF THIS QUESTION
between by and bus there is no article used
There should be 'does rise ' because subordinate clause is present indefinit these.
Please clear it
It's a zero article sentence. So we don't have to use any article.
it's not specific and so you cant use 'the'.....
i guess the sentence should be "Why do you travel by bus?"
