Question

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
After the examination, they all went to ______ movie.

A.

a

B.

one

C.

the

D.

an

Correct option is A

The correct option to fill in the blank is (a) a.
Explanation:
The indefinite article “a” is used before singular countable nouns beginning with a consonant sound when referring to something non-specific or mentioned for the first time.
Here, “a movie” refers to any movie, not a particular one.
(Hindi meaning: “a” का प्रयोग किसी एक वस्तु या व्यक्ति के लिए होता है जिसका पहले उल्लेख न हुआ हो।)
Example:
They went to a restaurant after the meeting.
Why other options are incorrect:
· (b) one – used for emphasis or counting, not suitable here. (एक)
· (c) the – definite article used for specific things. (वह)
· (d) an – used before vowel sounds; “movie” begins with consonant sound ‘m’. (एक)
Information Booster:
Rule: Use “a” before consonant sounds (a boy, a car) and “an” before vowel sounds (an apple, an hour).
