[#893] Mr. Shah is . . . . . . . . senior teacher.
Correct Answer

(A) a

Explanation

Solution: Here, the sentence talks about the 'teacher' as general class of people like 'Mr. Shah'. Since we are referring to general things, we need to use the indefinite article 'a/an'. The word 'senior' starts with a consonant and therefore 'a' will be used.
