Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
'A' is used before singular nouns which refer to unspecific things. 'The' is used before superlatives. Here, we are referring to an unspecific 'hot day', so 'a' will be used before it. However, since 'hottest' is a superlative degree, we need to use 'the' before it.
