She had lost one of her legs in . . . . . . . . road accident. A. a B. an C. the D. no article

a
an
the
no article

The correct answer is D. no article.

The article “a” or “an” is used before a singular noun that refers to a general or unspecified thing. In this case, the noun “road accident” is not general or unspecified. It refers to a specific road accident that happened to the woman. Therefore, we do not use an article.

The article “the” is used before a singular noun that refers to a specific thing that has already been mentioned or is known to the reader. In this case, the noun “road accident” has not been mentioned before, and it is not known to the reader. Therefore, we do not use the article “the”.
