Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct answer: the
Use the definite article "the" when referring to a specific person or thing that has already been identified or described. In the sentence, the clause "Savithri that my father told me about" identifies a particular Savithri, so the definite article is required to indicate that specificity.
Why the other choices are wrong:
"a" — Incorrect because it implies a non-specific single item; here a specific person is meant.
"an" — Incorrect because it is used before vowel sounds and also implies non-specific reference; "Savithri" begins with a consonant sound and the context needs a definite article.
No article — Incorrect here because omitting an article does not mark the specific, previously described person indicated by "that my father told me about."
Example: You cannot be the Savithri that my father told me about.
