Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Identify the noun used in the sentence. “Vaigai Express” is the name of a specific train. Step 2: Rule of articles for proper and specific nouns. The definite article “the” is used:

Before names of trains, ships, and newspapers,
When referring to a particular, well-known object.
Step 3: Apply the rule to the sentence. Since “Vaigai Express” refers to a particular train, the correct sentence is: \[ \text{I go to Madurai by the Vaigai Express.} \] Step 4: Eliminate other options.

a, an: used for non-specific singular nouns
some: used with plural or uncountable nouns
Hence, the correct answer is \(\boxed{\text{the}}\).
