I didn’t call them. I wrote . . . . . . . . letter instead. A. a B. an C. the D. no article

a
an
the
no article

The correct answer is D, no article.

The sentence “I didn’t call them. I wrote a letter instead” is about a general action, not a specific letter. Therefore, we do not need to use an article.

If we were to say “I didn’t call them. I wrote the letter instead”, this would imply that there is only one letter that could be written. However, in this case, the speaker could

have written any number of letters.

In

addition, the word “letter” is already a specific noun. Adding an article would make the sentence sound repetitive.

Therefore, the correct answer is D, no article.
