The correct answer is: C. the<\/strong><\/p>\n The article “the” is used before a singular noun that refers to a specific person, place, thing, or idea that is already known to the reader or listener. In this case, the reader or listener is assumed to know that Kolkata is the capital of West Bengal.<\/p>\n The article “a” is used before a singular noun that refers to a general person, place, thing, or idea. In this case, the reader or listener is not assumed to know that Kolkata is the capital of West Bengal.<\/p>\n The article “an” is used before a singular noun that begins with a vowel sound. In this case, the word “capital” begins with a consonant sound, so the article “an” would not be used.<\/p>\n The article “none of these” is not the correct answer because it does not refer to a specific person, place, thing, or idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [amp_mcq option1=”a” option2=”an” option3=”the” option4=”none of these” correct=”option3″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[665],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12388","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","no-featured-image-padding"],"yoast_head":"\n
