Question

Select the grammatically correct sentence from the given options.

• A. An unexpected power failure completely foiled the plan of the team.
• B. An unexpected power failure completely foiled a plan of a team.
• C. A unexpected power failure completely foiled the plan of a team.
• D. An unexpected power failure completely foiled an plan of the team.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. An unexpected power failure completely foiled the plan of the team.

• We use "An" before "unexpected" because it starts with a vowel sound. We use "the plan" and "the team" because the sentence refers to a specific plan and a specific team mentioned in context. Option C is wrong because it uses "A" before a vowel sound ("A unexpected").
