[#827] It is . . . . . . . one man show.
Correct Answer
(A) a
Explanation
Solution: Even though the word 'one' begins with the vowel 'o', it's pronounced as 'won' and thus has the sound of consonant 'w'. Thus, we use 'a' instead of 'an'.
[#828] . . . . . . . . . Bhagavad Gita is a holy book of . . . . . . . . Hindus.

Solution: Here, 'Bhagavad Gita' is a specific book and 'Hindus' are a specific class of people. Hence, definite article 'the' will be used before both the blanks.
[#829] When Harsh came back home, he saw . . . . . . . . . cat at the door.

[#830] My sister has just got . . . . . . . . job at . . . . . . . . bank in Manchester.
Correct Answer
(C) a, a
Explanation
Solution: 'A' is used before unspecific/general nouns that begin with a consonant sound. Here, 'job' and 'bank' are unspecific ones. Hence, option C is correct. Had there been only one particular bank in Manchester, we would have used 'the' in the second blank. However, it is unlikely that there would be only one bank.
