Question

Fill in the blank with appropriate article-
__________ bravery of Laxmi Bai is praiseworthy.
a) The
b) A
c) An
d) No article

Answer 1

Hint: Read the given phrase/sentence carefully. Try to make out the meaning of it and find the subject or the predicate or the main object of the sentence.

Complete answer:
 An article is any member of a class of dedicated words that are used with noun phrases to mark the identifiably of the referents of the noun phrases. In English, both “the” and “a” are articles, which combine with a noun to form a noun phrase.
Now, let us examine all the given articles to find out the correct option -
Option ‘a’ is The. It is used to point forward to any following qualifying phrase or clause. The fuss that she made of her.
Option ‘b' is A. It is used after singular, countable nouns, used before consonants. For example She is a girl. It cannot be used in the given sentence.
Option ‘c’ is An. It is used after singular, countable nouns, used before vowels. For example An year of intense joy.
Option ‘d’ is No article. This option would be chosen if no article is to be used in the given blank.
As we have analyzed all the given options, we can easily figure out the correct option. Here, the word to be filled in the blank is – The. The complete sentence would be – The bravery of Laxmi Bai is praiseworthy.

Note:
There are times when no article has to be used in the given blank. The sentence is self-satisfactory and there is no use of any of the three articles.
