All the colleagues of his office hold the view that Mr. Ali is a very wise and _ intelligent officer.
Correct answer: D. no article
- A. a
- B. an
- C. the
- D. no article
Explanation
"All the colleagues of his office hold the view that Mr. Ali is a very wise and intelligent officer."Here's why:- No article is needed before "intelligent" because it's an adjective modifying the noun "officer", and adjectives typically don't have articles.- The sentence already uses "a" before "wise" to indicate that Mr. Ali is wise to a certain degree, so adding another article before "intelligent" would be redundant.

About Articles
Articles determine whether a noun is general, specific, known or representative: “a,” “an,” “the” and the zero article each have distinct uses. Questions cover countable and uncountable nouns, first and later mention, unique objects, proper nouns and choosing articles by sound, not merely by spelling.
