no word needed
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- The sentence discusses the hurried passage of a bill affecting the transgender community in the Lok Sabha, India's lower house of Parliament.
- The blank requires an article before the word "hurry."
- The options provided are intended for the article's selection:
- Option 1: "an" is used before words starting with vowel sounds but does not fit here.
- Option 2: "a" is appropriate as it is used before words starting with consonant sounds like "hurry."
- Option 3: "the" is used for specific references but isn't suitable here.
- Option 4: "no word needed" isn't the case because an article is necessary for grammatical correctness.
Option 2: "a" is the correct choice for the blank.
