Choose the correct option :

When was __________ paper first made ?

  • A.a
  • B.an
  • C.the
  • D.no article is needed

Answer: D

No article is needed: When was paper first made?

Here paper is an uncountable noun meaning the material in general, not a particular sheet. Uncountable nouns used in a general sense take no article, as in glass is made from sand.

'A' or 'an' would make it countable ('a paper' means a newspaper or an essay), and 'the paper' would point to some specific paper already known, which the question does not mean.
