You are __________ fool to say that.

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

Answer: A

The answer is a: You are a fool to say that.

Here fool is a singular countable noun used after are to classify the person: it says what kind of person he is. A noun used this way takes the indefinite article, and fool begins with a consonant sound, so the form is a.

An is used before vowel sounds only. The fool would single the person out as a particular fool already identified, which is not the sense of this common rebuke. A singular countable noun cannot stand here with no article.
