Question

he bought ___ orange and banana (a,an,the)​

Answer 1

He bought an orange and a banana.

• We use three types of articles in the English grammar, which are - a,an,the.
• "The" article is only used when we are referring to a specific noun in a given sentence.
• But, here we can consider "a" or "an" article, as the nouns are not so specific and they are countable nouns.
• Now, between "a" and "an", we have to use "an" article for orange because, orange starts with a vowel. Similarly, we have to use "a" for banana because it's starts with a consonant.
