Direction : Select appropriate article from the given articles to complete the following sentences. Choose option (D) if no article is required.
Our Principal is ______ man of principle.
Answer: B
The correct article is a: a man of principle.
The sentence describes the Principal as one of the class of men who have principles, so the indefinite article is needed, as in 'He is a man of his word'.
'An' is used only before a vowel sound, and 'man' begins with a consonant sound. 'The man of principle' would single him out as the only such man, which the sentence does not mean, and the countable noun 'man' cannot go without an article.
