We wanted catch some fish, but we only caught . . . . . . . . octopus. A. a B. an C. the D. none of the above

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

The correct answer is: D. none of the above

The word “octopus” is a common noun, which means that it refers to a general class of things, not a specific thing. In this case, the speaker is not referring to a specific octopus, but to octopuses in general. Therefore, the indefinite articles “a” and “an” are not appropriate. The definite article “the” is also not appropriate, because the speaker is not referring to a specific octopus that has already been mentioned.

The correct article to use in this case is no article at all.
