Explanation:

- The passage describes a setting where Vasili Andreevich is leaving a village called The Crosses, moving away from the last house, the blacksmith’s hut.

- Option 1: "an" - Implies there could be multiple huts referred to in a general sense, which is not the case here.

- Option 2: "the" - Corrects used when referring to a specific hut known among the readers and the characters in the passage. Correct Answer

- Option 3: "one" - Would imply the hut is one among many huts, lacking specificity.

- Option 4: "a" - Similar to "an", it is non-specific and wouldn’t suit the context where the hut is known.
