He is a better poet than novelist.

Explanation:

1. There is an incomplete sentence given in the question in which a word is missing. We are asked to fill this blank with an appropriate article from the given options.

2. The word that is suitable in the blank is 'a'. Therefore, the complete sentence is: He is a better poet than novelist. So, the correct choice is Option (A).

3. Articles can de defined as short words which are added in sentences to indicate whether the noun of the sentence is specific or not. 'A', 'an' and 'the' are the three articles in english grammar.

4. The articles 'a' and 'an' are used before nouns which are in singular form. These are considered as indefinite articles. 'A' is used before words which begins with the sound of consonant letter. 'An' is used before words which begins with the sound of vowel letter. For example: a pen, an apple.

5. In the sentence given in the question, the noun is not definite so either 'a' and 'an' may be possible. But here the word 'better' begins with a sound of consonant letter 'b', therefore, article 'a' is appropriate.

6. Article 'the' is used before both singular as well as plural nouns which is specific or particular. For example: The boy wearing black shirt is my brother.
