[amp_mcq option1=”a” option2=”an” option3=”the” option4=”none of these” correct=”option3″]
The correct answer is C. the.
The word “Gita” is a proper noun, which means it refers to a specific person, place, or thing. Proper nouns are always capitalized. In this case, “Gita” refers to the Bhagavad Gita, which is a Hindu scripture.
The article “a” is used before singular common nouns that refer to a general class of things. For example, “I saw a dog.” The article “an” is used before singular common nouns that begin with a vowel sound. For example, “I saw an apple.”
The article “the” is used before singular common nouns that refer to a specific thing. For example, “I saw the dog that bit me.” It is also used before singular proper nouns.
In the sentence “The Gita is a holy book,” the word “Gita” is a proper noun, so the article “the” is used.
