    An
  • c)
    The
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Nabanita Bose answered
Explanation:

The correct answer is option 'c' - The.

Definite Article:
The definite article 'the' is used to refer to a particular noun that is already known to the speaker and the listener. It is used to specify a noun that is unique or specific in a particular context.

In the given sentence, the speaker is referring to a specific box of sweets that is on the table. The speaker and the listener are aware of this particular box of sweets, so the definite article 'the' is used.

Indefinite Articles:
The indefinite articles 'a' and 'an' are used to refer to a non-specific or general noun. They are used when the speaker is referring to any one of a group of similar things.

In the given sentence, the speaker is referring to a box of sweets in general. It does not specify a particular box of sweets but rather any box of sweets that may be on the table. Therefore, the indefinite articles 'a' and 'an' are not suitable in this context.

Conclusion:
The correct article to be used in the given sentence is 'the' as it refers to a specific box of sweets that is already known to the speaker and the listener.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Do you like the weather here? Isn't it too hot during the day?"

Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Kaavya Das answered
British Airways is one of the oldest companies in the world. It is a renowned airline that has been operating for several decades. Let's analyze the options given for filling in the blank and determine why option D, "None of these," is the correct answer.

An:
- The article "an" is used before words that begin with a vowel sound. However, the word "British" does not begin with a vowel sound, as the "B" is pronounced as a consonant sound. Therefore, "an" is not the appropriate article to use in this context.

The:
- The article "the" is used to refer to specific nouns that have already been mentioned or are known to both the speaker and the listener. In this case, the sentence does not provide any previous context or mention of British Airways, so using "the" would be incorrect.

A:
- The article "a" is used to refer to a non-specific noun or when mentioning something for the first time. In the given sentence, British Airways is not being mentioned for the first time, as it is introduced as "one of the oldest companies in the world." Therefore, using "a" would not be appropriate.

None of these:
- The phrase "None of these" indicates that none of the provided options are suitable for filling in the blank. In this case, since none of the given options meet the requirements for the correct article, "None of these" is the correct choice.

In summary, the correct answer for filling in the blank is option D, "None of these," as none of the provided articles (a, an, the) are suitable in this context. British Airways is indeed one of the oldest companies in the world, and it has established itself as a prominent airline in the industry.

Q. When you come out of the lift, you’ll see two doors, _____ red one and _____ blue one. My door is _____ red one.
  • a)
    The/the/a
  • b)
    A/a/the
  • c)
    A/a/a
  • d)
    The/the/the
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Edgy Education answered

The correct answer is B: A/a/the. Let's break down the sentence and analyze the usage of articles in each blank.
1. "When you come out of the lift, you'll see two doors, _____ red one and _____ blue one."
- In this sentence, we are referring to two specific doors - one red and one blue. Therefore, we need to use the definite article "the" before both colors.
2. "My door is _____ red one."
- Here, we are referring to a specific red door, the one that belongs to the speaker. Hence, we need to use the indefinite article "a" before "red" to indicate that it is one among many.
To summarize, the correct articles to fill in the blanks are:
- The red one
- A blue one
- A red one
Therefore, the correct answer is B: A/a/the.

    An
  • b)
    The
  • c)
    A
  • d)

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Kavya Chauhan answered


Explanation:

Definite article 'the' should be used before 'end' in this sentence.

- The definite article 'the' is used before nouns that are specific or particular. In this case, 'end' is specific as it refers to a particular place in the report.
- By using 'the' before 'end', it indicates that the report has a specific end where the name should be placed.
- Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Make sure you put your name at the end of the report."

Q. When we arrived, she went straight to the kitchen and started to prepare ____ meal for us.
  • a)
    A
  • b)
    An
  • c)
    The
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Nabanita Bose answered
Explanation:
When we arrived, she went straight to the kitchen and started to prepare ___ meal for us.

The correct answer is option 'A' - "a meal".

Explanation:
When we use the word "meal" in this context, it refers to a specific, unidentified meal that she is preparing for us. The article "a" is used before the word "meal" because it is an indefinite article. It indicates that the meal she is preparing is not a specific or previously mentioned meal, but rather a general, unspecified meal.

The other options, "an" and "the", are not suitable in this context because they do not convey the same meaning as the sentence requires.

- "An" is used before words that begin with a vowel sound. Since "meal" does not begin with a vowel sound, "an" is not appropriate.
- "The" is used before specific nouns that have been previously mentioned or are already known to the listener. In this sentence, there is no specific meal that has been mentioned before, so "the" is not appropriate.

Therefore, the correct article to use in this context is "a", making the correct answer option 'A' - "a meal".

Tanishq Chavan answered
Explanation:
- In this sentence, we are referring to Rustum, who is a young Parsi.
- Since the word "young" starts with a consonant sound, we use the indefinite article "a" before it.
- The indefinite article "a" is used before singular countable nouns that begin with a consonant sound.

Answer:
The correct answer is option a) A.

Options:


  • a)A

  • c)The

  • d)None of these



Usage of Articles:

Articles are used before nouns to specify the noun in the sentence. There are three types of articles:

Usage of 'A':

'A' is an indefinite article and is used before a singular noun that is unspecified or unknown to the reader. It is used when the noun begins with a consonant sound. For example, 'a car', 'a book', 'a house', etc.

Q. We have got our new offices near _____ centre of the city.
  • a)
    An
  • b)
    The
  • c)
    A
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Muskaan Reddy answered
Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'B' - the.

The definite article 'the' is used before a noun when the speaker and the listener both know exactly which person, thing, or place is being talked about. In this case, the sentence mentions "our new offices" and refers to them being located near "the centre of the city".

The definite article 'the' is used in this context for the following reasons:
1. Specific location: The use of 'the' indicates that there is a specific city center being referred to in the sentence. It implies that the speaker and the listener are aware of the particular center being mentioned.
2. Known information: Since the sentence mentions "our new offices", it suggests that the speaker and the listener are already aware of the new offices and their location in relation to the city center. The use of 'the' implies that this information is known to both parties.
3. Uniqueness: The center of the city is a singular and unique location. By using 'the', it specifies that it is the one and only center being referred to, distinguishing it from other possible centers.

Example:
- We have got our new offices near the center of the city.

In summary, the definite article 'the' is used before 'center' to indicate a specific, known location - the center of the city.
