Rabindranath Tagore, ________ poet, was famous for his poetical work, Gitanjali.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. the.
'The' is used before a noun when referring to someone or something specific and well-known.
Rabindranath Tagore is a well-recognized and distinguished poet, so 'the poet' is appropriate to specify him.
'A' or 'an' would suggest one among many poets, but here, Tagore is being identified specifically, hence the usage of article 'the'.
Hence, the correct sentence is:- 'Rabindranath Tagore, the poet, was famous for his poetical work, Gitanjali.'
