Here, the sentence is in talking about the new and old plane in a general sense and so the article that needs to be used is an indefinite article. So, we can eliminate options A) and D). Between options B) and C), the correct answer is option C) A because 'newer' starts with a consonant and not a vowel or a silent 'h'.

A
A

B
An

C
The

D
Many
Solution
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.
'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 D is incorrect as 'Many' is used with plural countable nouns. Option C is incorrect as 'The' doesn't suit with the meaning of the sentence due to parallelism error. Option B is incorrect as 'An' cannot be used with a word having a consonant at the beginning and having a consonant sound. Hence Option A is correct.

Complete the given sentence by picking the best option to fill in the blank.

A
An

B
It

C
A

D
The

Solution

When a sentence talks about specific nouns or situations inspite of the sentence being a general one, we use 'the'. Since the sentence already has a 'the' it is a clue to fill in the blank and so the correct answer is option D) the. Also, it is important to note the use of 'the' to show the degree or extent of a particular adjective like 'more stops' and 'more dangerous' as is used in the current context.
