Choose the correct article:

She aspires to become ______ UN envoy for climate affairs.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. the.

 

The sentence refers to a specific, singular, and prestigious position (UN envoy for climate affairs) rather than just any general job title.

Grammatical concept:

  • Definite Article: The article 'the' is used before the names of specific titles or unique positions within an organization.

  • Specific Designations: When a person aspires to a singular, well-defined role (like the Prime Minister or the UN envoy), 'the' is used to highlight the uniqueness and importance of that specific post.

Analysis of the given options:

  • a: This would imply she wants to be one of many generic envoys, which is less common for high-level specific designations.

  • an: This is grammatically incorrect because 'UN' begins with a consonant sound (/j/).

  • the: This is the correct choice as it identifies a specific and unique designation within the UN structure.

Correct word: the

Final sentence: She aspires to become the UN envoy for climate affairs.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
