Excuse me, can you tell me how to get to . . . . . . . . airport? A. a B. an C. the D. no article

The correct answer is D. no article.

The reason is that the word “airport” is a common noun, which means that it refers to any airport in general. In this case, the speaker is asking for directions to the nearest airport, so they do not need to specify which airport they are referring to.

If the speaker were asking for directions to a specific airport, they would need to use an article. For example, if they were asking for directions to the San Francisco International Airport, they would say, “Excuse me, can you tell me how to get to the San Francisco International Airport?”

Here is a brief explanation of each option:

• A: “a” is used before singular nouns that begin with a consonant sound.
• An: “an” is used before singular nouns that begin with a vowel sound.
• The: “the” is used before specific nouns.
• No article: No article is used before common nouns.
