Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'A' - "a".
In this sentence, the noun following the article is "English CD". The rule for using articles is as follows:
1. "A" is used before words that begin with a consonant sound.
2. "An" is used before words that begin with a vowel sound.
3. "The" is used before specific or known nouns.
In this case, the noun "English CD" begins with a consonant sound, as the pronunciation of the letter "e" in "English" is /ɪŋɡlɪʃ/, which is a consonant sound. Therefore, we use the indefinite article "a" before it.
Example:
- I listened to a great English CD yesterday.
Option 'B' - "an" is incorrect because it is used before words that begin with a vowel sound. Since "English" begins with a consonant sound, we cannot use "an" in this sentence.
Option 'C' - "the" is incorrect because it is used before specific or known nouns. In this sentence, there is no specific English CD mentioned, so we cannot use "the" here.
Option 'D' - "All of these" is incorrect because it does not fit the context of the sentence. The sentence is asking for the correct article to fill in the blank, and "All of these" is not an article.
Summary:
The correct article to fill in the blank is "a" because the noun "English CD" begins with a consonant sound.
