Choose the answer which best rewords the underlined portion. If you think the original wording is best, choose option A.

It is crucial for the Spanish government to show it has control over country.
  1. over country
  2. over the country
  3. over a country
  4. over an country
Explanation
Answer: B - The best choice is “over the country”

The original sentence lacks the proper article. “A” and “an” are indefinite articles and refer to nonspecific nouns. Since country refers to Spain - “the” - which is the definite article, is the appropriate article to use in this sentence.
