A,B,C,D,E
MCQ Question 1 Detailed Solution
The correct answer is option 2) i.e. a
'The' article is used with ordinals and while expressing the numbers.
'A' tenth chapter is an incorrect usage of the article.
Although the noun 'chapters' is countable but the specific chapter 'tenth' mentioned nulls its use of indefinite articles.
It is to be noted that an article is used prior to a common singular number, which makes it function more appropriate in a sentence.
The correct sentence is : The tenth chapter of the book is very interesting.
