Discussion

Let us discuss __________ matter seriously.

  • A.a
  • B.an
  • C.the
  • D.zero article

Answer: C

The answer is the: Let us discuss the matter seriously.

The speaker is referring to a particular matter that both speaker and listener already have in mind. A noun that is specific in this way takes the definite article.

A matter would introduce some unspecified matter, which makes little sense when proposing to discuss it seriously. An cannot be used before the consonant sound of matter, and a singular countable noun such as matter cannot stand without an article.
