We were grateful for a book they gave us.

  1. A
    grateful for
  2. B
    they gave us
  3. C
    We were
  4. D
    a book

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The indefinite article "a" in the phrase "a book" is incorrect because the book is specified by the adjective clause "they gave us". Since it refers to a particular, definite book, the definite article "the" must be used instead of "a". The correct sentence is: "We were grateful for the book they gave us."
