Unless there is only one bench, and your listener already knows about the bench, you need to use “a” because you’re introducing it to the listener. There is a bench in the park and Emily is sitting on it. If you use “the,” you’re assuming your listener already knows exactly which bench you’re talking about - the (only) one in the park.

I had an English test.
I had to answer to the question, looking at the picture on the paper of my English test.
In the picture, Emily is sitting on a/the bench.
5 points on the problem.
I got 3 points, because of ‘the bench’.
One teacher said ‘the bench’ is wrong, ‘a bench’ is right. Another teacher said we can not say ‘the bench’ is wrong.
I am confused. Of two teachers’, whose explanation is right?
Is it fair for me to get -2 points, because of ‘the bench’?
Help me.

It sounds to me like they agree with each other, and they are correct. You need to say “a bench” and not “the bench.”

I appreciate for your help!
umm..
There are 5 people in the picture of the park. Among them, one is Emily. There is only one bench, and Emily is sitting on it. In this situation, My answer is wrong?
I can understand ‘a bench’ is better than ‘the bench’ in this Q&A of my test.
I hope to persuade my teacher that My answer is not wrong because ... ... ,thus, I can’t agree to -2 points. What can I do to prepare for convincing her.

You can only use “the” if both of you know about the bench. If you were pointing out Emily in real life, you could only say “the” if there was only one bench in the whole park and your listener was familiar with that bench already. Otherwise, you have to use “a.” Since you can’t assume that those things are both true here, I don’t think you’ll be able to get your points back unfortunately.

@JTOh both "the" and "a" are articles. "The" refers to a specific bench while "a bench" is general
