Key Points

  • The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
  • Here, 'a very well-directed film' should be used instead of 'the very well-directed film'.
  • The rule for the usage of "an" or "a" is, that if the word following has a vowel sound, "an" is used (e.g. An honor, A house).
  • If there's a consonant sound, "a" is used.
  • There are many examples of this in relation to "very".
    • Example: That was a very nice house!
  • Thus, the correct answer is Option 3.
     

Correct Sentence: It was a very well-directed film and we enjoyed it.
