D
no article
Solution
1. An/A' is used as an indefinite article for a thing or person when the reader doesn't know which one we are referring to out of many nouns. It states the random nature of the subject.
2. 'The' is used as a definite article for a thing or person when the reader knows which one we are exactly referring to. It states the specific nature of the subject.
Option B is correct as 'the priest' means a particular priest in the context of the passage who is known to the reader previously.
Option A is incorrect as 'A' is used with a word with a random nature. 'A priest' refers to any single priest that has a random nature.
Option C is incorrect as 'An' is used before a word having a vowel sound. Thus 'An priest' is wrong.
Option D is incorrect as the blank requires an article in order to give meaning to the sentence. 'Priest' without any article doesn't give sense to the sentence.
