English question from Panchayat Secretary (VLW) exam, 2025 by JKSSB

Select the right article for the blank: 
___________ book you want is out of print.

Last updated Jun 13, 2026
Correct Answer: Option C — the
Why "The" is Correct
The sentence refers to a specific book—the exact one that "you want."

"The" is a definite article used when both the speaker and the listener know precisely which specific item is being discussed.

"A" or "An" are indefinite articles used for general, non-specific items (e.g., "I want a book," meaning any book).

"No article" would make the sentence grammatically incorrect in this context.

Complete Sentence:

"The book you want is out of print."
Answer verified by Quintessence Classes faculty — Karan Nagar, Srinagar.
