Fill in the blank with the most suitable article:Moni got________last...
We use the definite article in front of a noun when we believe the listener/reader knows exactly what we are referring to: because there is only one, that is, only one last position. This is why we use the definite article with a superlative adjective, like last. Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence, incorrect.

Fill in the blank with the most suitable article:Moni got________last...
Explanation:
The correct article to be used in this sentence is "the".
Reasoning:
When we talk about someone's position in a specific group or category, we use the definite article "the". In this case, the sentence is referring to Moni's position in his class, which is a specific group. Therefore, we need to use "the" before the noun "last position".
Example:
- Moni got the last position in his class.
Other Options:
- Option A: No article required - This option is incorrect because we need an article to specify the position in Moni's class.
- Option B: A - This option is incorrect because "a" is used before singular countable nouns when they are mentioned for the first time or when they are not specific.
- Option D: An - This option is incorrect because "an" is used before words that begin with a vowel sound, and "last" does not begin with a vowel sound.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C: the.
