Hi,
she told me " i met professor shah at _ University". which article is applicable before "University" here?
and why?
options are
1)a Some particular university that has not yet been mentioned in the conversation.
The listener might therefore ask, 'Oh, which one?'
2)an Not correct, because 'university' sounds like it starts with a Y
