Choose the correct alternative to fill in the blank.
A camel can go _____ long distance without water.
Answer: C
The correct article is a: 'A camel can go a long distance without water.'
'Distance' here is a singular countable noun used in a general, non-specific sense, so it takes the indefinite article. 'Long' begins with a consonant sound, so the form is 'a', not 'an'.
'The' would point to a particular distance already known, which the sentence does not mean, and a singular countable noun cannot go without an article.
