Fill in the blank with a suitable article in the following sentence.
______ Ganga is _____ sacred river.
- AA, the
- BThe, the
- CThe, a
- DA, a
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The definite article 'The' is mandatory before the names of unique geographical entities like holy rivers (e.g., The Ganga). For the second blank, 'sacred' begins with a consonant sound (/s/), and since it refers to one non-specific river out of many, the indefinite article 'a' is appropriate.
