Roger looked at him and, without . . . . . . . . word, gave him . . . . . . . . ten dollar note. A. a, a B. no article, no article C. no article, the D. the, no article

Option C is incorrect because “the” is used to introduce a specific noun that has already been mentioned. In this sentence, the ten dollar note has not been mentioned before, so “the” is not necessary.

Option D is incorrect because “the” is used to introduce a specific noun that is unique or well-known. In this sentence, the ten dollar note is not unique or well-known, so “the” is not necessary.
