Question

Choose the option which best corrects the sentence-
I had a lavish lunch yesterday.
a) I had the lavish lunch yesterday.
b) I had an lavish lunch yesterday.
c) I had lavish lunch yesterday.
d) NO CHANGE

Answer 1

Hint: In the given sentence, we should check the world used before the main part of the sentence that is “lavish lunch”. An article is used before it. So we’ll check if it is correct or not.

Complete answer:
Here, there are certain rules which need to be carried out while using articles in any given sentence. The given sentences seem to be correct because an article is not used before a meal except when they take advantage of them. The article ‘a’ is used before lavish because it describes the noun ‘lunch' in a general sense.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct answer :
Option ‘a’ is I had the lavish lunch yesterday. The is used before any non only when the noun is one of a kind. This cannot be the correct answer because they are not followed by any noun which makes the sentences grammatically incorrect.
Option ‘b’ is I had an lavish lunch yesterday. This cannot be the correct answer because the article an can only be used before words that start with a vowel.
Option ‘c’ is I had lavish lunch yesterday. Lavish has to have an article before it in order to make the sentence correct and sensible. Here there is no article used so the option is incorrect.
Option ‘d’ is No change. This option is used when all the other three options are incorrect or not suitable for the given question.
As we have analyzed all the given options, we can easily figure out the correct answer. Here, the given sentence is already correct, no changes are needed in it. Hence, option ‘d’ is the correct answer.

Note:
You must know the usage of all three articles while doing any such type of question. A minor article can affect the sentence grammatically.
