Question

Use an appropriate article:

The book is about _____ man who lives on _____ small island.

Options

A
A, An
B
A, A
C
A, The
D
An, A

Explanation

In the sentence "The book is about a man who lives on a small island," the articles "a" are used before the nouns "man" and "island."

This is not appropriate due to the rule that "an" is used before words that begin with a vowel sound. Since "man" begins with a consonant sound, "a" would be the correct article to use in this case.

"The book is about a man who lives on a small island," the articles "a" are used before the nouns "man" and "island" as they both are indefinite.

It does not fit because "the" implies a specific island, but the sentence mentions "a small island," which is not specific.

It does not fit because "an" is used before words that start with a vowel sound, while "man" starts with a consonant sound.
