Question

Choose the correct article : The teacher selected ________ girl who sang well.

• A. the
• B. an
• C. a
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

A. the

The clause "who sang well" identifies a specific girl from a group. Since the noun is definite (specific), we use the definite article "the."

• The teacher selected the girl who sang well. ✔️

Why the other options are incorrect:

• an ❌ – Used before words beginning with a vowel sound; "girl" begins with a consonant sound.

• a ❌ – Refers to any one girl, not a specific girl identified by the relative clause.
