Which of the following sentences uses articles correctly?
AThe honesty is the best policy.
BThe honesty is a best policy.
CHonesty is the best policy.
DAn honesty is the best policy.
Explanation
Abstract, uncountable nouns like ‘honesty,’ when used in a general sense to refer to the quality as a whole rather than one specific instance of it, do not take an article at all. The phrase correctly continues with ‘the best policy,’ since ‘the’ is properly used before the superlative adjective ‘best,’ following the same superlative rule tested with other articles.
