Correct Answer: not make an noise


Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.

Explanation : The indefinite article "an" is used before words that begin with a vowel sound. However, since "noise" begins with a consonant sound , the correct quantifier to use is "any". The word "any" is often used in negative sentences to convey the idea of an absence or lack of something.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "We should not make any noise in the class."
