उपयुक्त आर्टिकल के साथ रिक्त स्थान भरें।
There was hardly ______ evidence to support the allegations made against the defendant.

Options:

  • a) a
  • b) an
  • c) the
  • d) no article
  • a) a
  • b) an
  • c) the
  • d) no article

correct answer : d)

Explanation:

The word “evidence” is an uncountable noun. In this context, “hardly” is an adverb meaning “scarcely”, and no article is required before the general uncountable noun “evidence”. Thus, option (d) (“no article”) is correct.

“evidence” शब्द एक अनकाउंटेबल नाउन (uncountable noun) है। इस संदर्भ में, “hardly” एक क्रियाविशेषण है जिसका अर्थ “मुश्किल से” है, और सामान्य अनकाउंटेबल नाउन “evidence” से पहले किसी आर्टिकल की आवश्यकता नहीं है। अतः, विकल्प (d) (“no article”) सही है।
