Question

Of the four given options, choose the most appropriate one.

A.

My sister is the poet and the philosopher.

B.

My sister is a poet and philosopher.

C.

My sister is a poet and the philosopher.

D.

My sister is poet and philosopher.

Correct option is B


The correct answer is (b) My sister is a poet and philosopher.
The sentence requires the use of the indefinite article "a" before both "poet" and "philosopher". This is because both nouns are singular, countable, and used in a general sense. When referring to a profession or category in general, "a" is used as the indefinite article.
Grammatical Rule Used:
· Indefinite Article Usage: The article "a" is used before singular, countable nouns when we talk about something in general or to refer to one of many things or people.
· Correct Usage: "a poet" and "a philosopher" are general references to professions and do not refer to specific individuals.
Grammatical Rule in Hindi:
· अव्यक्त Artikel का उपयोग: जब हम किसी विशेष व्यक्ति या वस्तु का उल्लेख नहीं करते हैं और सामान्यतः किसी पेशे या श्रेणी का उल्लेख करते हैं, तो हम "a" का प्रयोग करते हैं।
· सही उपयोग: "a poet" (एक कवि) और "a philosopher" (एक दार्शनिक) यहाँ पर किसी विशिष्ट व्यक्ति को नहीं, बल्कि सामान्य रूप से पेशे को व्यक्त करते हैं।
Correct Sentence:
My sister is a poet and philosopher.
