Answer 1

Hint: a, an, the, are articles that have their own unique purpose in order to achieve a sense of completeness in the sentence.

Complete step-by-step answer:

 English has two articles: the and a/an. The is used to refer to specific or particular nouns; a/an is used to modify non-specific or non-particular nouns. We call the definite article and a/an the indefinite article.
the = definite article a/an = indefinite article
For example, if I say,
 "Let's read the book," I mean a specific book. If I say, "Let's read a book," I mean any book rather than a specific book.
"My daughter really wants a dog for Christmas." This refers to any dog. We don't know which dog because we haven't found the dog yet.
"When I was at the zoo, I saw an elephant!" Here, we're talking about a single, non-specific thing, in this case, an elephant. There are probably several elephants at the zoo, but there's the only one we're talking about here.
Hence the correct option is a.

Note: Students should have a clear concept of three forms of the article in order to fetch good marks in such questions.
