If you see him, give him __________ message.
Answer: A
The keyed answer is a: If you see him, give him a message.
The sentence does not say which message is meant, and nothing has been mentioned before it, so message is introduced here for the first time as one unspecified message. A singular countable noun introduced in this way takes the indefinite article, and message begins with a consonant sound, so the form is a.
The message would be used if a particular message had already been identified, which this sentence does not do. An cannot come before a consonant sound, and message is countable, so it cannot stand with no article in the singular.
