Explanation:
Definite Article 'The':
The definite article 'the' is used before a noun when we believe the listener/reader knows exactly what we are referring to. It may be something that has been mentioned before or it may be something that is common knowledge, for example, the sun, the moon, the sky. In this case, the speaker is referring to a specific mountain range, i.e. the Alps. Therefore, the correct article to be used here is 'the'.
Indefinite Article 'A' and 'An':
The indefinite articles 'a' and 'an' are used before a singular noun that is general or not known. 'A' is used before a consonant sound and 'an' is used before a vowel sound. For example, a cat, an apple.
- Definite Article: 'The' is used before a specific noun that is known to the listener/reader.
- Indefinite Articles: 'A' and 'An' are used before a general or unknown noun.
Therefore, the correct answer to this question is option 'C', i.e. 'the'.

Tejas Jain answered |
Explanation:
When we use the indefinite article 'a' or 'an', we use it to refer to something that is non-specific or general. In this sentence, the speaker is referring to a new English book on the desk, but it is not specified which book it is. Therefore, we use the indefinite article 'an' before the word 'English' because the word begins with a vowel sound.
Example:
There is a new pen on the desk. (We do not know which pen it is.)
When we use the definite article 'the', we use it to refer to something specific. In this sentence, if the speaker was referring to a specific English book on the desk that was previously mentioned or known to the listener, then we would use the definite article 'the' instead of the indefinite article 'an'.
Example:
The new English book on the desk is mine. (The speaker is referring to a specific book that is known to the listener.)
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' - 'an'.

Shubham mishra answered |
To determine the correct article to fill in the blank, we need to consider the following:
1. The word "trumpet" starts with a consonant sound, and the letter 't' is pronounced as /t/. Therefore, we should use the indefinite article "a" or "an" before "trumpet."
2. The choice between "a" and "an" depends on the sound that follows. If the sound following the article is a vowel sound, we use "an." If the sound following the article is a consonant sound, we use "a."
Considering the above points, the correct article to fill in the blank is "a."

Shubham Menon answered |
Explanation:
Determiners are words that are used before nouns to give more information about the noun. In this sentence, the determiner should indicate that the teacher gave a chocolate to each or every student.
Options:
a) each
b) every
c) almost
d) much
Explanation of Correct Answer:
The correct answer is option 'A' - each.
Explanation:
- The word "each" is used when we are talking about individual items or people within a group.
- In this sentence, the teacher gave a chocolate to each student, indicating that every student received a chocolate individually.
- The word "each" is used to emphasize the distribution of chocolates to every single student.
- It is the most appropriate determiner in this context as it conveys the idea that each student received a chocolate individually.
Explanation of Incorrect Options:
b) every - The word "every" is also used to talk about individual items or people within a group. However, it is usually used when there is a large group or a general statement. In this sentence, the focus is on each individual student, so "each" is more appropriate than "every".
c) almost - The word "almost" means nearly or not quite. It does not convey the idea of distribution to each individual student, so it is not appropriate in this context.
d) much - The word "much" is used to talk about quantity or degree, but it does not convey the idea of distribution to each individual student. Therefore, it is not appropriate in this context.
Summary:
The correct determiner to fill in the blank is "each" because it emphasizes the distribution of chocolates to every single student individually.

Stoneridge Institute answered |
The correct article to fill in the blank is "a."
Explanation:
- The word "pilot" starts with a consonant sound, pronounced as /ˈpaɪ.lət/.
- When a noun starts with a consonant sound, we use the indefinite article "a" before it.
- In this case, the word "pilot" starts with the /p/ sound, which is a consonant sound.
- Therefore, we should use the article "a" before "pilot" to say "a pilot."
Key Points:
- The correct article to fill in the blank is "a."
- The word "pilot" starts with a consonant sound, so we use the article "a" before it.
- The sentence should be written as "The girl is a pilot."

Edu Impact answered |
To select the correct article and fill in the blank correctly, we need to consider the specific situation and context given in the sentence. In this case, the sentence states "He is ____ President of USA."
The correct article to use in this sentence is "the." Here's why:
Explanation:
The sentence is referring to a specific role or position, which is the President of the USA. The definite article "the" is used to refer to a specific noun that both the speaker and the listener are aware of. In this case, "the President of the USA" is a unique and specific position that everyone knows and recognizes.
Here's a breakdown of the options and why they are incorrect:
A: "an"
- The indefinite article "an" is used before words that begin with a vowel sound or a silent "h." However, in this case, "President" does not begin with a vowel sound, so "an" is not appropriate.
B: "a"
- The indefinite article "a" is used before words that begin with a consonant sound. However, in this case, "President" does not begin with a consonant sound, so "a" is not appropriate.
C: "the"
- The definite article "the" is used before a noun when it is already known or when it is the only one of its kind. In this case, "the President of the USA" is a unique and specific position, so "the" is the correct article to use.
D: "All of these"
- This option is incorrect because not all of the given articles (a, an, the) are appropriate in this context. Only "the" is the correct choice.
In conclusion, the correct answer is option C: "the President of USA."

Riya Singh answered |
- In the sentence "My father is _________ honest person," we need to choose the correct article.
- The word "honest" begins with a vowel sound, which requires the article "an."
- "A" is used before words that begin with a consonant sound, and "the" is used for specific nouns.
- Therefore, the correct choice is "an," leading to the complete sentence: "My father is an honest person."
- The word "honest" begins with a vowel sound, which requires the article "an."
- "A" is used before words that begin with a consonant sound, and "the" is used for specific nouns.
- Therefore, the correct choice is "an," leading to the complete sentence: "My father is an honest person."

Explanation:
Determiners are words that come before a noun to give more information about it. In this question, we need to select the correct determiner to fill in the blank.
The correct answer is option 'c', "yours".
Explanation:
The word "this" in the question indicates that we are referring to a specific table that is close to the speaker.
The determiner "your" is a possessive determiner that is used before a noun to show ownership or possession. However, in this context, we are not referring to the table belonging to the person being addressed.
The determiner "you" is a pronoun that is used to refer to the person or people being addressed. However, in this context, we are not asking if the table is the person being addressed.
The determiner "yours" is a possessive pronoun that is used to show ownership or possession without needing to mention the noun it refers to. In this context, "yours" is used to ask if the table belongs to the person being addressed.
Therefore, the correct determiner to fill in the blank is "yours".
Summary:
- The word "this" indicates a specific table.
- "Your" is a possessive determiner, but it does not fit the context of the sentence.
- "You" is a pronoun, but it does not fit the context of the sentence.
- "Yours" is a possessive pronoun that fits the context of asking if the table belongs to the person being addressed.

Jay Rane answered |
Explanation:
The correct article to use in this sentence is "an."
When deciding whether to use "a" or "an" before a noun, we look at the sound that follows the article.
In this case, the noun that follows is "English." The sound at the beginning of the word "English" is a vowel sound, specifically the "eh" sound. Therefore, we use "an" before "English" to make it "an English CD."
Using "a" instead of "an" in this sentence would be incorrect because it would create a clash between the "a" sound and the vowel sound of "English."
So, the correct answer is option A, "an."

Edu Impact answered |
To determine the correct article to fill in the blank, we need to consider the following rules:
1. Use "a" before words that begin with a consonant sound.
2. Use "an" before words that begin with a vowel sound.
3. Use "the" before specific nouns that are already known or have been mentioned before.
Given the sentence "Lucy has ____dog," we can see that "dog" starts with a consonant sound, so we should use the indefinite article "a" or "an."
Now let's evaluate each option:
A: an - This is incorrect because "an" is used before words that begin with a vowel sound, and "dog" does not have a vowel sound at the beginning.
B: a - This is the correct answer because "a" is used before words that begin with a consonant sound, and "dog" starts with a consonant sound.
C: the - This is incorrect because "the" is used before specific nouns, and there is no indication in the sentence that "dog" is a specific or previously mentioned dog.
D: All of these - This is incorrect because only option B, "a," is the correct choice in this context.
Therefore, the correct answer is B: a.

Stoneridge Institute answered |
The correct article to fill in the blank is "a".
Explanation:
- The indefinite article "a" is used before a singular noun that begins with a consonant sound.
- In this case, the noun "pilot" begins with the consonant sound /p/, so we use the article "a" before it.
- The definite article "the" is used when we are referring to a specific person or thing, but in this sentence, we are talking about a girl in general who is a pilot, so the definite article is not appropriate.
- The indefinite article "an" is used before a singular noun that begins with a vowel sound, but since "pilot" does not begin with a vowel sound, we do not use "an" in this case.
- Therefore, the correct answer is option B: "a".

Prateek Chakraborty answered |
Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'b' - "a".
Explanation:
In this sentence, Emily needs a new desk in her room. The word "desk" starts with a consonant sound, so we use the indefinite article "a" before it. The indefinite article "a" is used before singular, countable nouns that start with a consonant sound.
The other options are:
- Option 'a' - "an": We use the indefinite article "an" before singular, countable nouns that start with a vowel sound. Since "desk" starts with a consonant sound, we cannot use "an" in this sentence.
- Option 'c' - "the": The definite article "the" is used before singular and plural nouns when the speaker and listener both know which specific thing or things are being referred to. In this sentence, we are not referring to a specific desk, but rather any new desk that Emily needs in her room.
- Option 'd' - "All of these": This option is incorrect because only option 'b' - "a" is the correct article to use in this sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'b' - "a".

Arjun Majumdar answered |
Explanation:
Understanding Articles:
In English grammar, articles are words that define a noun as specific or unspecific. There are three articles in English: "a," "an," and "the."
- "A" and "an" are indefinite articles, meaning they refer to any member of a general group.
- "The" is a definite article, meaning it refers to a specific member or members of a group.
Choosing the Correct Article:
To determine which article to use in a sentence, we need to consider the context and the noun being referred to. In this case, we are talking about a specific bike.
Rule:
When a noun begins with a consonant sound, we use the article "a."
Application:
The word "expensive" starts with a vowel sound (the sound of the letter 'e'), so we use the indefinite article "an."
Incorrect Options:
- "The" is not the correct article to use because it indicates that the bike is specific and known to the speaker, which is not mentioned in the sentence.
- "All of these" is also not the correct option as it includes all possible articles, but we can only choose one article to fill in the blank.
Correct Answer:
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'a' - "an," as it is the correct indefinite article to use before the noun "expensive" in this sentence.

Partho Chaudhary answered |
Explanation:
To determine the correct article to fill in the blank, we need to consider the rule of using articles before nouns.
Indefinite Article 'a':
The indefinite article 'a' is used before a singular countable noun that begins with a consonant sound. In this case, the noun 'hour' begins with a consonant sound, so the article 'a' can be used.
Definite Article 'the':
The definite article 'the' is used before a noun when the speaker and the listener both know which specific noun is being referred to. In this case, there is no specific car mentioned earlier in the context, so the use of 'the' would not be appropriate.
No Article (Null article):
Sometimes, no article is used before a noun. This is the case when referring to general concepts or in certain expressions. However, in this sentence, we are referring to a specific car and its speed, so the use of 'an' or 'a' is necessary.
Correct Answer:
The correct article to fill in the blank is 'a'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'b) a'.
To determine the correct article to fill in the blank, we need to consider the rule of using articles before nouns.
Indefinite Article 'a':
The indefinite article 'a' is used before a singular countable noun that begins with a consonant sound. In this case, the noun 'hour' begins with a consonant sound, so the article 'a' can be used.
Definite Article 'the':
The definite article 'the' is used before a noun when the speaker and the listener both know which specific noun is being referred to. In this case, there is no specific car mentioned earlier in the context, so the use of 'the' would not be appropriate.
No Article (Null article):
Sometimes, no article is used before a noun. This is the case when referring to general concepts or in certain expressions. However, in this sentence, we are referring to a specific car and its speed, so the use of 'an' or 'a' is necessary.

Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'b' - "a".
Explanation:
In this sentence, we are talking about "a new English book" which means we are referring to a book that is not specific or known to the listener or reader. Since the noun "book" begins with a consonant sound, we use the indefinite article "a" before it.
Rules:
When to use the indefinite article "a":
- Before a singular countable noun that begins with a consonant sound.
- When introducing something for the first time or when the listener/reader is not aware of the specific item.
Examples:
- I saw a car on the street.
- She bought a dress for the party.
- He has a dog.
Incorrect options:
- Option 'a' - "an" is incorrect because we use "an" before a singular countable noun that begins with a vowel sound. In this case, the noun "book" begins with a consonant sound, so we use "a" instead of "an".
- Option 'c' - "the" is incorrect because "the" is a definite article used to refer to something specific or known to the listener/reader. In this sentence, we are not referring to a specific book, but rather a new English book in general.
- Option 'd' - "All of these" is incorrect because it suggests that all the articles (a, an, and the) can be used in this sentence, which is not true. Only the indefinite article "a" is correct in this context.
Conclusion:
The correct article to fill in the blank in the given sentence is "a" (option 'b').
The correct answer is option 'b' - "a".

The correct article to fill in the blank in the given sentence is "a" (option 'b').

Explanation:
The correct determiner to fill in the blank is option 'A', "my".
Explanation:
Determiners are words that are used before nouns to give more information about the noun. They help to specify or determine the noun in terms of quantity, possession, or definiteness.
In this sentence, the determiner is used to show possession. The speaker is referring to their friend named Jason. The correct determiner to use in this context is "my" because the friend belongs to the speaker.
Rule:
The possessive determiner "my" is used to show that something belongs to the speaker.
Example:
- This is my book.
- These are my friends.
Incorrect options:
- Option 'B', "mine" is a possessive pronoun, not a determiner. It is used without a noun following it.
- Option 'C', "Me" is a pronoun and cannot be used as a determiner.
- Option 'D', "mines" is not a correct word. The possessive form of "mine" is "mine", not "mines".
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A', "my".
The correct determiner to fill in the blank is option 'A', "my".

Explanation:
Determiners are words that come before nouns to give more information about them. In this sentence, we need to select the correct determiner to fill in the blank before the word "mother".
Options:
a) Her
b) She
c) Hers
d) Hers
Correct Answer: Option A - Her
Explanation:
The word "mother" is a noun, and we need a determiner to specify whose mother we are talking about in the sentence.
- Option A "Her" is the correct determiner here because it indicates that the mother being referred to belongs to someone else. The possessive determiner "her" shows that the mother is someone else's and is used when we are talking about someone's mother. For example, "Her mother is very pretty" means the mother of someone else is very pretty.
- Option B "She" is not a determiner but a pronoun. It is used to refer to a female person, not to indicate possession.
- Option C "Hers" is a possessive pronoun, not a determiner. It is used to show possession and can replace the noun. For example, "The car is hers" means the car belongs to her.
- Option D "Hers" is the same as option C and is also a possessive pronoun.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A "Her" as it is the appropriate determiner to use in this sentence to specify the possession of the mother.

Arjun Majumdar answered |
Explanation:
The correct article to use in this sentence is "an."
Explanation:
The rule for using the indefinite article "a" or "an" is based on the sound that follows the article.
If the sound following the article is a consonant sound, we use "a." If the sound following the article is a vowel sound, we use "an."
In the sentence "They've got an idea," the word "idea" begins with the vowel sound /aɪ/. Therefore, we use the indefinite article "an" before it.
Example:
- They've got an idea to solve the problem.
- An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Summary:
The correct article to use in the sentence "They've got ____ idea" is "an" because the word "idea" begins with a vowel sound.
The correct article to use in this sentence is "an."

Sagarika Kulkarni answered |
Explanation:
The correct article to fill in the blank is "an".
Explanation:
When choosing the correct article to use in a sentence, we need to consider the sound of the word that follows the article. In this case, the word that follows is "old," which begins with a vowel sound. The sound of the word is more important than the actual letter it begins with. In this case, the "o" in "old" is pronounced as a vowel sound, like "oh." Therefore, we use the article "an" before "old" to make the sentence grammatically correct.
Summary:
The correct article to fill in the blank is "an" because the word that follows, "old," begins with a vowel sound.

The Correct Article to Fill in the Blank is "a"
The correct article to fill in the blank in the given sentence is "a." This is because the noun "hour" begins with a consonant sound, and "a" is used before words that begin with a consonant sound.
Explanation:
- The sentence states "The speed of this car was 160 miles ____ hour."
- In this sentence, we need to select the appropriate article to fill in the blank before the word "hour."
- The options provided are "an," "a," "the," and "All of these."
- We can eliminate the option "the" because it suggests that there is only one specific hour that the speed of the car was measured in. However, the sentence does not provide any specific hour, so "the" is not the correct article.
- The option "All of these" is also incorrect because it suggests that any of the articles could be used. However, only one article is appropriate in this context.
- Now, we are left with the options "an" and "a."
- The use of "an" is typically used before words that begin with a vowel sound. Since the word "hour" begins with a consonant sound (/aʊər/), "an" is not the correct article.
- Therefore, the correct article to fill in the blank is "a."

Answer:
Determiners are words that come before a noun to give information about the noun. In this question, we are asked to select the correct determiner to fill in the blank for the sentence "That camera is ____."
The correct answer is option 'C' - "Mine."
Here's an explanation of each option and why they are correct or incorrect:
a) My - This determiner is used to show possession, but since the sentence is talking about the camera in general and not specifically belonging to the speaker, it is not the correct answer.
b) Her - This determiner is used to show possession by a female person, but since the sentence does not mention any specific person, it is not the correct answer.
c) Mine - This determiner is used to show possession without mentioning any specific person. It is the correct answer as it can be used to refer to something that belongs to the speaker without specifying the gender.
d) Your - This determiner is used to show possession by the person being spoken to, but since the sentence does not mention any specific person, it is not the correct answer.
In this sentence, we are talking about the ownership of the camera in general, without specifying any particular person. Therefore, the correct determiner is "Mine" (option 'C').
To summarize:
- The correct determiner for the sentence "That camera is ____." is "Mine" (option 'C').
- "Mine" is used to show possession without specifying any specific person.
- The other options are not correct because they either specify a person or do not match the context of the sentence.
