Choose the appropriate articles from the following options to complete...
Explanation:To determine the appropriate article to complete the sentence, we need to consider the context and grammar rules.
- The word "trial" is a countable noun, so it requires an article.
- The sentence states that the trial will start today, indicating a specific trial.
Options:A:
A
- This article is used before words that begin with a consonant sound. Since "trial" begins with a consonant sound (/tr/), this option is grammatically correct. However, it does not indicate the specific trial mentioned in the sentence.
B:
An
- This article is used before words that begin with a vowel sound. Since "trial" begins with a consonant sound (/tr/), this option is not appropriate.
C:
The
- This article is used before specific nouns that have been mentioned before or are known to both the speaker and the listener. In this case, the sentence mentions that the trial will start today, indicating a specific trial. Therefore, "the" is the appropriate article to use.
D:
None
- This option is incorrect as the sentence requires an article before the word "trial."
Conclusion:The appropriate article to complete the sentence is "the" (Option C).
