Direction : Select appropriate article from the given articles to complete the following sentences. Choose option (D) if no article is required.
Lala Lajpat Rai is ______ Lion of Punjab.
Answer: B
The correct article is the: Lala Lajpat Rai is the Lion of Punjab.
'The Lion of Punjab' (Punjab Kesari) is a title that belongs to one particular person, so it takes the definite article, as do other unique titles: the Father of the Nation, the Iron Man of India.
'A Lion of Punjab' would make him one of many such lions, losing the sense of a unique title. 'As' is not an article at all, and a singular countable noun like 'Lion' cannot stand without an article here.
