Regarding the correct use of article.
Sentence: "Now, she has a/the sympathy of her supporters"
My question/doubt: What would be the right article in the above mentioned sentence ? Or there is no need of any article at all before the word sympathy ?
My own sense is article a perhaps wouldn't come unless there is "exception" in countable and non-countable which I don't know of. Article the might come but not sure. Chances of no article seems more but not sure about it also. So you help/tell me.
Thanks

Another question if you could answer
Sentence: "She might get the/a ministerial post in t
Sentence: "She might get the/a ministerial post in t

Both could work there.
A ministerial post means there are more than just one post available and she might get one of those.
The ministerial post means that the listener already knows which post is meant.
In the future is correct.
