Question

Use the appropriate article where necessary:

Would you like _____ biscuit with your coffee?

• A. a
  
• B. an
• C. no article
• D. the

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The correct option is A a
Option A is the correct answer as 'a' is an indefinite article that can be used before a singular nonspecific noun that starts with a consonant, like a 'biscuit'.

Option B is incorrect because 'an' can only be used before nouns that start with a vowel sound.

Option C is incorrect because 'the' is a definite article that is used before a noun when we believe the hearer/reader knows exactly what we are referring to. Since we are referring to a biscuit in general and not any specific biscuit, this option is incorrect.

Option D is incorrect because it is a rule that we use an article before countable nouns to make the sentence complete.
