Question

Choose one option to fill in the blanks in the following sentences.
(a) a
(b) an
(c) the
(d) none
Can you see _____ moon?

• A. a
• B. b
• C. c
• D. d

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Read the sentence
The sentence is: “Can you see _____ moon?” The blank requires the correct article. Options are: (a) a, (b) an, (c) the, (d) none.

Step 2: Rule of article usage
- "a" or "an" are used for nonspecific singular countable nouns. - "the" is used for something unique, specific, or already known to both the speaker and listener. - "none" is chosen if no article is required (generally for plural or uncountable nouns).

Step 3: Apply to the word “moon”
There is only one moon that we see from Earth. Since it is a unique object, it must always be preceded by "the" when we talk about it in general usage. Saying "a moon" would be incorrect unless talking about moons of other planets in astronomy. Saying "an moon" is grammatically wrong, and "none" leaves the sentence incomplete.

Step 4: Correct sentence
“Can you see the moon?” This is correct because the moon is a unique celestial body known to all.

Final Answer: The correct option is (C) the.
