Question

Fill in the blanks with appropriate article “I need __ new laptop for my work.”

• A. a
• B. an
• C. the
• D. no article

Answer 1

Answer:

A. a

• The word “laptop” starts with a consonant sound /l/.

• So we use “a”, not “an”.

• “The” is used for specific items already known, but here the speaker is introducing it for the first time.

• “No article” is incorrect because a countable singular noun like “laptop” needs an article.
