Question

he came _____ first in his class
a)no article
b)a
c)an
d)the

Answer 1

Answer:

a no article is the answer

Answer 2

The answer is as follows:

Option a: no article

• In the given sentence, we do not need to put an article before the word 'first.'

• The word 'first' does not refer to the number or amount of the subject. It defines the position or status of the person. Therefore, the articles 'a' and 'an' cannot be used.

• If an auxiliary verb was placed before the blank, we could use the article 'the.' However, since the verb 'came' is given, we do not need to put any article.
