Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: a

Explanation: Context: The article ‘a’ is used before words that start with a consonant sound. Since ‘university’ begins with the ‘yu’ sound, we use ‘a’ instead of ‘an’. 1. the ❌ – used for something specific. 2. a ✅ – correct; because the word starts with a consonant sound. 3. an ❌ – wrong, as it is not a vowel sound. 4. those ❌ – plural demonstrative. Correct Sentence/Example Sentence: He studies in a university in Delhi.
