They rallied to _____ support of _____ prime minister in the hour of crisis.
- a, the
- a, a
- the, the
- an, a
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - the, the
The sentence reads 'They rallied to the support of the prime minister in the hour of crisis.' The phrase 'rally to the support of' takes the definite article because the support is a particular one, given to a named person. 'The prime minister' also takes 'the' because the office is unique, so both blanks take 'the'.
