Complete the following sentences using appropriate articles.Kiran is ___________ best student in the class.a)ab)thec)No articleCorrect answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Question

Answer

To determine the appropriate article to complete the sentence, we need to consider the context and the rules of article usage. In this case, we are talking about Kiran, who is being described as the best student in the class.
The correct article to use depends on whether there is a specific class being referred to or not. Let's analyze the options:
A: a
- This article is used to refer to something in a general or non-specific sense. However, in this sentence, we are talking about the best student in the class, which suggests a specific class.
B: the
- This article is used to refer to something specific or known to both the speaker and the listener. In this sentence, we are referring to the best student in a particular class. The use of 'the' implies that the class is known or specified.
C: No article
- This option suggests that no article is needed in the sentence. However, since we are talking about a specific class and Kiran is being described as the best student, it is more appropriate to use an article.
Therefore, the correct answer is B: the as it indicates that Kiran is the best student in the particular class being referred to.

Answer

Explanation:

Definite article 'the'
- In this sentence, we are referring to Kiran as the best student in the class, which implies there is only one best student in the class.
- When we want to talk about a specific person or thing, we use the definite article 'the'.

Incorrect options:
- Option 'A' uses the indefinite article 'a', which is used when we are talking about any one of a group of things.
- Option 'C' suggests no article, but in this case, we need to specify that Kiran is the best student, so we require an article.

Therefore, the correct choice is option 'B', which uses the definite article 'the' to indicate that Kiran is the best student in the class.
