    Question

    Select the alternative that will improve the highlighted part of the sentence. In case there is no improvement required, select "No improvement".
    I have the good news for you.

    A.

    no any good news

    B.

    an good news

    C.

    good news

    D.

    No improvement

    Correct option is C


    The correct substitution of the highlighted part is (c) good news.
    Explanation:
    · “News” is an uncountable noun, so it doesn't take an article like “the” or “a” in general use.
    · Saying “the good news” implies specific known news, but here the sentence is introducing the news, hence "good news" is sufficient.
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    Uncountable nouns like advice, information, news, etc., do not use indefinite articles (a/an). Use definite article only when the context requires specificity.
    Correct I have good news for you.
    Why others are incorrect:
    · (a) “No any good news” is grammatically incorrect.
    · (b) “An good” is wrong — "good" starts with a consonant sound.
    · (d) “The good news” implies something already known.
