Question

Choose an appropriate article:

My sister has just got _____ job at ______ bank in Manchester.

• A. a; the
• B. an; a
• C. a; a
• D. an; the

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

'A' is used before unspecific / general nouns which begin with a consonant sound. Here, 'job' and 'bank' are unspecific ones. Therefore, the correct option is: a ; a.
Had there been only one particular bank in Manchester, we would have used 'the' in the second blank. However, it is unlikely that there would be only one bank.
