Question

Fil in the blanks with the correct option.
Kobe Bryant is____basketball player

• A. a
• B. an
• C. the
• D. No article required

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Correct Usage of the Article "A" 

Step 1: Understanding the Rule

The phrase "basketball player" refers to a profession or a category of people, rather than a specific individual.

We use the indefinite article "a" when referring to a general member of a group.

Step 2: Applying the Rule

• The word "basketball" starts with a consonant sound (the "b" sound).
• Since "a" is used before words that start with a consonant sound, the correct choice is "a".

Thus, the correct sentence is:

"Kobe Bryant is a basketball player."

Final Answer:

Thus, the correct answer is (A) "a".
