Question

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
The village of the King more has __________ post office and _____________ shop.

• A. Some / a
• B. Some / any
• C. A / a
• D. An / a

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The correct option is C A / a

1. An/A' is used as an indefinite article for a thing or person when the reader doesn't know which one we are referring to out of many nouns. It states the random nature of the subject.
2. 'The' is used as a definite article for a thing or person when the reader knows which one we are exactly referring to. It states the specific nature of the subject.

Option C is correct as 'A' as an article suits the blank as 'a post and a shop' implies any post office and any shop that is random in nature. 'A' is used with singular countable noun. Option A is incorrect because 'Some' used in the first blank doesn't suit the meaning of the sentence. Option B is incorrect as 'any shop' doesn't suit the meaning of the sentence. Option D is incorrect as 'an post office' is grammatically incorrect as 'An' is used with a word having a vowel sound.
