MCQ Question 2 Detailed Solution
Key Points
Part (A) of the sentence carries an error, hence, option 1 is the right answer.
As maintained by, one of the grammatical rules of definite article case (the), 'the' is used with adjectives that qualify a noun.
Specimen: The second floor of the highest building.
In the given part 'A' of the sentence, 'top' is considered to an adjective that qualifies the floor of the building.
Hence, 'top' is bound to imply an article along with it.
Importantly, 'Building' is specific in this case, thus and so, 'the' will be implied instead 'a'.
In consequence,
Ram lives on a top floor
Ram lives on the top floor
Correct sentence: Ram lives on the top floor of a newly constructed building in Vikas Nagar.
