Unclear quiz question

This was a question on one of the quizzes:

Which of the following articles could you use with the letter "t" in Spanish: "te"? Then it listed “la, el, una, un” as options to choose from. 

I was unsure if it was referring to a word that started with the letter t, or the drink té, or the indirect object te. 

Kinda confusing.

Hola Missy E.

Thanks for pointing that out!
In that quiz question, te refers to the letter “t (as in la letra t), not the drink (el té) or the pronoun (te).

That’s why the correct answer is la, since in Spanish the names of letters are feminine.

I can see how the wording could be confusing though — we’ll take note of this to make it clearer in the future.

Hasta pronto

Silvia
