    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.
