[amp_mcq option1=”a” option2=”an” option3=”the” option4=”none of the above” correct=”option3″]
The correct answer is: C. the
The word “the” is used to refer to a specific person or thing. In this case, the speaker is referring to a specific boy in their class who is the tallest.
The word “a” is used to refer to an indefinite person or thing. In this case, the speaker could be referring to any boy in their class who is tall.
The word “an” is used to refer to a singular noun that begins with a vowel sound. In this case, the word “tallest” begins with a consonant sound, so “an” would not be the correct answer.
The answer “none of the above” is not correct because the word “the” is the only word that makes sense in this sentence.
