Question

________ University of Kerala. Choose the correct article.

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

Answer 1

Answer:

D. the

We use “the” before the names of specific institutions, organizations, and universities that have a unique identity.

• ✅ the University of Kerala — there is only one such university.

• ❌ a University of Kerala — incorrect, because “a” is used for any one of many, not a specific one.

• ❌ an University of Kerala — incorrect, because “university” begins with a /juː/ sound (a consonant sound), not a vowel sound.

• ❌ no article — incorrect, because the name is specific.
