[amp_mcq option1=”a” option2=”an” option3=”the” option4=”none of the above” correct=”option1″]
The correct answer is: A. a
The article “a” is used before singular nouns that refer to any one of a class of things. In this case, the kid is eating an orange, which could be any orange.
The article “an” is used before singular nouns that begin with a vowel sound. In this case, the orange does not begin with a vowel sound, so “an” would not be the correct article.
The article “the” is used before singular nouns that refer to a specific thing. In this case, the kid is not eating a specific orange, so “the” would not be the correct article.
The answer “none of the above” is incorrect because the kid is eating an orange.
