The man who is now Municipal Commissioner worked as ____________________.
Answer: B
The blank takes a security guard at the university.
The indefinite article a fits the job: he was one of several security guards, not a unique one, so “a security guard” is right and “the security guard” would imply there was only one. The definite article fits the place: “the university” refers to a particular, known university, the one where he worked.
“The security guard at a university” reverses the two articles. “A security guard at university” drops the article before a countable noun used for a specific institution, which reads as British “at university” (studying there), a different meaning. “The security guard at the university” wrongly suggests the university had a single guard.
