1️⃣ the

2️⃣ an

3️⃣ a

4️⃣ Both 2 and 3

Answer: Option - 4 => Both 2 and 3 are indefinite articles.

There are two main articles.

1) Definite article (The)

2) Indefinite article (A/An)

Definite Article -

• The definite article "The" is used before a singular noun or plural noun and before some proper nouns.

Indefinite Articles -

The Indefinite Articles "A/An" :-

• Article "A" is used before a singular noun that begins with a consonant sound.
• Article "An" is used before a singular noun which begins with a vowel sound

Hence, option - 4 is the required answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

Which of these is/are indefinite article(s)?

• According to the given question the Indefinite articles are : 'A' and 'An'. So option '4. Both 2 and 3' is correct.

• There are two Articles and they are : Indefinite and Definite Articles.

• Article is not a distinct part of speech. It is a form of Adjective. It also goes with a Noun. 'A', 'an' and 'the' are adjectives but they don't qualify the noun in the usual sense.

• Definite article is : 'The'. Example : This is the book you want.

• Indefinite Article 'a' is used before a word begining with a consonant sound and 'an' is also used before a word beginning with vowel sound. Examples : - A man killed a tiger. An umbrella, an hour.

• But Some time 'a' is used before a word beginning with such vowels as are pronounced as 'u'. Example : A university, a ewe and a eulogy.

• Again 'an' is used before a word beginning with silent 'h' : as -- an M.A, an H. E. School.
