Discussion
'People are crowding around ___ pit into which ___ elephant has fallen. I have never seen an elephant looking more bewildered ___ miserable. Here it is in a most undignified position, thrust into a pit and made to look up ___ a vast, curiosity-stricken crowd.'
Choose the option with the correct sequence of words to fill the blanks.
Answer: B
The correct sequence is a; an; and; at.
'A pit' takes 'a' because 'pit' begins with a consonant sound, and 'an elephant' takes 'an' before the vowel sound. 'More bewildered and miserable' joins two adjectives with 'and', and one looks up 'at' a crowd.
The first option puts 'an' before 'pit' and 'at' between the adjectives. The third and fourth put 'and' or 'at' before 'pit', which is ungrammatical, and the fourth also ends with 'look up and a crowd'.
