Question

Identify the grammatically correct form of the given sentence.
Sentence: His dreams were on a grand scale; such, after all, are best possessions of youth.
I. His dreams were on a grand scale; such, after all, are the best possessions of youth.
II. His dreams were on an grand scale; such, after all, are the best possessions of youth.

A.

Both I and II are correct

B.

Only II is correct

C.

Only I is correct

D.

Neither I nor II is correct

Correct option is C

The correct sentence is only I.
Explanation:
· Sentence I uses the correct article “a” before the word "grand", which starts with a consonant sound.
· “are the best possessions of youth” is also correct, as "best" is a superlative adjective that requires the article "the".
· Sentence II is grammatically incorrect because it uses “an” before “grand”, which starts with a consonant sound.
Grammatical rule used:
Use "a" before words that start with a consonant sound and "an" before vowel sounds.
Example: a book, an hour.
�� Information Booster: The use of articles is based on pronunciation, not just spelling.
