“The best time to plant . . . . . . . . tree was 20 years ago. . . . . . . . . second best time is now.” A. a, the B. an, the C. the, the D. none of the above

[amp_mcq option1=”a, the” option2=”an, the” option3=”the, the” option4=”none of the above” correct=”option3″]

The correct answer is: C. the, the

The sentence is a proverb that means that the best time to do something is always in the past, but the second best time is now. The first “the” refers to the tree, and the second “the” refers to time.

The other options are incorrect because they do not make sense in the context of the sentence. Option A, “a, the,” would imply that there is more than one tree that could be planted. Option B, “an, the,” would imply that the tree is not specific. Option D, “none of the above,” would not make sense in the context of the sentence.
