Fill in the blank with appropriate article.
He does not like _____ theory of relativity.
Answer: A
The correct article is the: 'He does not like the theory of relativity.'
The definite article is used before a noun that names one particular, identified thing. There is only one theory of relativity, Einstein's, and the phrase 'of relativity' identifies it, so 'the' is required.
'A' and 'an' would mean any one of several theories, which does not fit a unique theory, and the noun cannot stand without an article here.
