Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable article.
Arjun works as an assistant professor in ____ University of Calcutta.

• A. NO change
• B. the
• C. an
• D. a

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

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, University of Calcutta is a specific university. That is why we use the definite article 'the' before it.
