SSC CPO 2022 PYQ — Question 8

SSC CPO - 11 Nov 2022 - Shift 3 • English • Q8

Identify the sentence that correctly uses the indefinite article.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. A taco is a traditional Mexican dish consisting of a tortilla topped with a filling.

  • We use indefinite articles before singular countable nouns. 
  • We use the indefinite article “an” before the words that begin with a vowel sound.
  • The nouns “dish”, “filling” and “tortilla” are singular countable nouns in the sentence and begin with a consonant sound. 
  • Thus, the use of “a” is correct before them.
