Question

Complete the sentence using one of the following words. Use a/an where necessary.
It wasn't your fault. It was _______ accident.
A. An
B. A
C. The
D. No article

Answer 1

Hint:A, an, the are the three articles in English grammar. They are used with phrases of nouns.
The arrangement of how articles are utilized realizes that things can be either count (can be counted) or noncount (uncertain in amount and can't be checked). Also, check things are either particular (one) or plural (multiple). Noncount things are consistently in a solitary structure.

Complete answer:
At the point when a noun isn't definite, or it's vague, we utilize an inconclusive article 'a' or 'an'.
Let us analyze the options and discuss the answer.
Option A. "An" is utilized when the noun starts with a vowel. The noun in the question is "accident" which starts with a vowel. It is the correct option.
Option B. "A" Is used when the noun starts with a consonant. The noun in the question is "accident" which starts with a vowel and the usage of the article "a" will be incorrect. Thus, It is an incorrect option.
Option C. It is erroneous because "the" is a definite article which we use when the noun is definite. The noun "accident" is indefinite. Thus, it is an incorrect option.
Option D. No article is utilized when the noun is uncountable. Though the noun "accident" is indefinite it is not uncountable. Thus, It is an incorrect option.

Hence the correct answer is option A.

Note:There are numerous situations where the utilization of articles is not done. They are:-
 -before formal people, places or things, plural things, and so forth.
-before dress things, strict foundations, and so on.
-before mountains, dialects, games, and so forth.
