What type of article is used in the phrase "the attorney that you met with last week"?

Indefinite
Definite
Negative
Conditional

The correct answer is: Definite

In the phrase "the attorney that you met with last week," the word "the" serves as the definite article. A definite article is used to refer to a specific noun that is known to the reader or listener. In this case, "the attorney" indicates a particular attorney that both the speaker and listener have in mind, as opposed to any attorney in general. Definite articles are essential in communication to clarify which specific object or individual is being talked about, providing context and creating a shared understanding. This distinguishes it from indefinite articles, which introduce nonspecific entities, and other types mentioned in the question that do not apply to this context.
