Question

Choose the correct option to fill the blank-
I can easily read and write the English _____.
a- Alphabets
b- Alphabetic
c- Alphabet
d- Alphabetical

Answer 1

Hint:Alphabet refers to a group or set of letters that are given in a fixed sequence to represent the speech sounds. Both ‘alphabets’ and ‘alphabet’ have different conjugations.

Complete answer:
As given in the hint, both ‘alphabets’ and ‘alphabet’ have different uses-
An alphabet is used to refer to the letters of one specific language, whereas alphabets are used to indicate more than one language.
In the given question- ‘X’ states that she can easily read and write the English alphabet. Here, the use of ‘the’ indicates reference to a group or whole.
Now, let’s look at the given options-
Option a- ‘Alphabets’ is an incorrect option as in the given sentence, ‘X’ is not referring to an individual letter but the whole group of letters.
Option b- ‘Alphabetic’ is an incorrect option as it is an adjective and it cannot act as the object in the sentence.
Option c- ‘Alphabet’ is the correct option, because it indicates the entire group of letters.
Option d- ‘Alphabetical’ is an incorrect option, because it is an adjective and it cannot act as the object in the sentence.
So, the correct answer is “Option c”.

Note:
 ‘Alphabets’ is the plural form of ‘alphabet’. Whenever we use ‘alphabet’, we talk of the letters as a whole but when we use ‘alphabets’, we talk of each individual letter.
