    Question

    Fill in the blank with the correct article.
    ______ book you were looking for has now come out in Kindle edition.

    A.

    The

    B.

    No article

    C.

    A

    D.

    An

    Correct option is A


    The correct answer is (a) The.
    The sentence refers to a specific book already known to the listener/reader—“the book you were looking for.” Hence, the definite article the is required.
    Grammatical rule involved (English):
    The definite article “the” is used before a noun when it refers to something specific or already identified, especially when followed by a defining clause (e.g., the book you were looking for).
    व्याकरण नियम (Hindi):
    जब किसी संज्ञा से पहले ऐसा विवरण दिया गया हो जिससे वह विशेष/पहचानी हुई हो जाए, तो उसके पहले the का प्रयोग किया जाता है। यहाँ you were looking for उस पुस्तक को विशेष बना रहा है।
    Meanings / role of the other options:
    • (b) No article: Incorrect because the noun is specific.
    • (c) A: Used for non-specific singular nouns; not suitable here.
    • (d) An: Used before vowel sounds; not applicable.
    Thus, the correct option is (a) The.
