Discussion
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank. Lack of _______ proper mentor should have been the reason behind his failure in the test.
Answer: D
The correct word is a.
'Lack of a proper mentor' needs the indefinite article before the singular noun 'mentor'. 'These' and 'many' would need plural nouns, and 'an' is used before vowel sounds, while 'proper' begins with a consonant sound.
So only 'a' fits.
The noun 'mentor' is singular and countable, so it needs an article. Since 'proper' starts with a consonant sound, the article is 'a'. 'These' and 'many' go with plural nouns, and 'an' would go before a vowel sound such as 'an excellent mentor'.
