Question

Fill in the blanks with the correct article. Write &lsquo;None&rsquo; where no article is required.Q.That&rsquo;s __________ hard story to believe.a)theb)ac)and)noneCorrect answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Answer

To determine the correct article to fill in the blank, we need to consider the noun that follows. In this case, the noun is 'story'. Here are the rules for using articles with nouns:
1. Definite article 'the': We use 'the' when we are referring to a specific noun that is known to both the speaker and the listener.
2. Indefinite article 'a/an': We use 'a/an' when we are referring to a non-specific noun or when we mention something for the first time.
3. No article 'none': We use no article when the noun is non-countable or when we are talking about something in general.
Now let's apply these rules to the given sentence:
'That's __________ hard story to believe.'
- The noun 'story' is not specific or previously mentioned, so we can eliminate the definite article 'the'.
- The noun 'story' is countable, so we need to choose between the indefinite articles 'a' or 'an'.
- The word 'hard' begins with a consonant sound, so we should use the indefinite article 'a'.
Therefore, the correct article to fill in the blank is 'a'.
