Who is _ lady in _ picture?
Correct answer: D. the... the
- A. the... an
- B. a... the
- C. the... a
- D. the... the
Explanation
The indefinite article (a, an) is used before a noun that is general or when its identity is not known. The definite article (the) is used before a noun to indicate that the identity of the noun is known to the reader. As the lady and the picture in the sentence are specified so we use article 'the'. Option A,B and C are incorrect .
