One of their freighters, / a Neptune, / will be leaving/ in two weeks.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. a Neptune.
- In the original sentence, the article "a" should be replaced with the definite article "the" before "Neptune" to specify a particular freighter.
- "The Neptune" indicates a specific freighter among others, whereas "a Neptune" implies any freighter named Neptune.
- Therefore, "the Neptune" is the correct form to use in this context.
