Direction: Select the correct article and fill in the blanks.Q. There ...
Explanation:
When we use the indefinite article 'a' or 'an', we use it to refer to something that is non-specific or general. In this sentence, the speaker is referring to a new English book on the desk, but it is not specified which book it is. Therefore, we use the indefinite article 'an' before the word 'English' because the word begins with a vowel sound.
Example:
There is a new pen on the desk. (We do not know which pen it is.)
When we use the definite article 'the', we use it to refer to something specific. In this sentence, if the speaker was referring to a specific English book on the desk that was previously mentioned or known to the listener, then we would use the definite article 'the' instead of the indefinite article 'an'.
Example:
The new English book on the desk is mine. (The speaker is referring to a specific book that is known to the listener.)
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' - 'an'.
