Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable article.
_____ mangoes that I bought yesterday were rotten.

• A. A
• B. An
• C. NO change
• D. The

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The correct option is D The
THE is the definite article. It signifies specific items. It is also used before words that have been mentioned previously in a given context. A is generally used before singular nouns which begin with a consonant. AN is usually used to introduce singular nouns that begin with a vowel. In this sentence, we are talking specifically about the mangoes that were bought yesterday. Hence, we use the definite article 'the'.
