Fill in the Blanks

'The' is used for a specific, known college (definite), while 'a' is used with 'new' because it starts with a consonant sound and we're describing it for the first time. Option B is correct.

Correct Answer: the

The definite article 'the' is used because it refers to the specific name of a particular woman we met yesterday. The context makes it a specific, known name.
