English question from JKP Constable exam, 2024 by JKSSB
Fill in the blank using suitable articles. When no article is required, select no article among the given options.
I work at — company in New York. _____ company is called Global Tech
Last updated Jun 23, 2026
Correct Answer:
Option A —
a, the
Logical Breakdown
1. "I work at a company..."
Here, we use the indefinite article "a" because you are introducing the company for the first time. The listener doesn't know which specific company you are talking about yet. It is just "one" company among many in New York.
2. "...The company is called..."
Now that you have already mentioned the company in the first sentence, it has become a specific, known entity to the listener. Therefore, we use the definite article "the" to refer back to that particular company.
Analyzing the Options
A) a, the: Correct. It follows the introduction vs. reference rule.
B) the, the: Incorrect. This would imply the listener already knows which company you work for before you've even named it or described it.
C) a, No article: Incorrect. "Company" is a singular countable noun and almost always requires an article.
D) No article, the: Incorrect. You cannot say "I work at company" without an article in this context.
