Question

Fill in the blank with the correct or no article:
I have a black and _____ white dog.
(There are two dogs of which one is black and the other is white)

• A. a
• B. an
• C. No Article
• D. the

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Option B - 'An' is used before a word that starts with a vowel sound. As 'white' starts with a consonant sound, we can't use 'an' here. Thus option B is incorrect.

Option C - 'The' is used before the definite subjects. As we do not know which white dog the subject is talking about, we can't use 'the' here. Thus option C is incorrect.

Option D - We use no article before the nouns that are usually uncountable. As 'white dog' is countable, we need an article. Thus option D is incorrect.

Option A - 'A' can be used here as 'white dog' is a singular subject and starts with a consonant sound. Thus option A is the correct answer.

'I have a black and a white dog.'
