• A vs. The

Hi!

I read the following in a TOEIC book:



“5. ______ book on the shelf is about solar system.



A. A

B. The

C. An

D. Some



(Answer: B)” ((Step Up TOEIC Bridge Intermediate, First Edition, p. 171))



Do you agree with the above that B is the ONLY correct answer?

What about A? if there are several books on the shelf, one of them is about solar system, and the person listening to this sentence doesn’t know which book is about solar system, then correct answer is A, NOT C, I think.

What do you think? Do you agree with me?



Thanks in advance.
