That’s . . . . . . . . very expensive cycle! A. a B. an C. the D. no article

a
an
the
no article

The correct answer is D. no article.

The word “cycle” is a common noun, which means it does

not refer to a specific cycle. In this case, the speaker is expressing surprise at the high price of the cycle, and they are not referring to a specific cycle. Therefore, no article is needed.

The other options are incorrect because they all use articles. The article “a” is used before singular common nouns that refer to a general thing or person. The article “an” is used before singular common nouns that begin with a vowel sound. The article “the” is used before singular common nouns that refer to a specific thing or person.

In this case, the speaker is not referring to a general cycle or a specific cycle. They are simply expressing surprise at the high price of the cycle. Therefore, no article is needed.
