Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

When filling in a sentence with an article, we assess which article logically fits with the noun phrase.
Option 1: 'three' is a number, not an article. It would not properly complete the sentence since the sentence requires an article or determiner before the singular noun 'university', not a numeral.
Option 2: 'an' would be used before a word that begins with a vowel sound. Although 'university' starts with a vowel letter, its initial sound is a consonant sound /juː/ (you-niversity). Therefore 'an university' is incorrect; the correct choice would be 'a university' if anything.
Option 3: 'the' is a definite article, which would imply a specific, identifiable university already known to the listener. The sentence here does not specify a particular university that both speaker and listener know about, so 'the' is not appropriate.
Option 4: 'a' is the correct indefinite article before a singular noun that is being introduced for the first time and does not refer to a specific, previously mentioned university. It matches the standard English usage for introducing an unspecified single entity in a general statement.
Overall, the sentence reads naturally as: 'There is a university in the centre of the city.' The other options disrupt standard article usage and semantic clarity.
