Debolina Shah answered |
Explanation:
The correct answer is "the" because the sentence is referring to a specific park that has already been mentioned or is well known to the speaker and the listener. Here, the definite article "the" is used to indicate a specific park that both the speaker and the listener are aware of.
If the sentence was referring to a park that has not been mentioned before, we would use the indefinite article "a" or "an" depending on whether the noun following it begins with a vowel or a consonant.
Examples:
- He had heard there were many beavers in a park nearby. (referring to an unspecified park)
- He had heard there were many beavers in an urban park. (referring to an unspecified park)
- He had heard there were many beavers in the national park. (referring to a specific park that is well known)

Explanation:
Definite article 'the' is used to refer to a specific person, object or thing that has already been mentioned or is clearly understood from the context.
In the given sentence, the child who had spoken before is already mentioned and known to the readers. The child is not just any child, but a specific child who has already been introduced. Therefore, the definite article 'the' is the correct article to use in the blank.
Hence, the correct answer is option 'C'.

Definite Article 'The'
Explanation:
In the given sentence, the noun 'beaver' is specific and definite, as it refers to a particular beaver that was mentioned or known to the speaker and the listener. Hence, the definite article 'the' is used before 'beaver' to indicate that it is a particular beaver.
Option A 'a' is incorrect because it indicates an indefinite and non-specific beaver.
Option C 'an' is also incorrect as 'an' is used before a noun that starts with a vowel sound, whereas 'beaver' starts with a consonant sound.
Option D 'No article' is also incorrect because an article is required before a singular noun in this sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B 'the'.

Sarita Singh answered |
The article 'the' is used when the noun is specific and known to the speaker as well as the listener. The noun 'visa' is not specified as to which visa and it's been mentioned for the first time here, so 'the' isn't the correct article. An indefinite article, either 'a' or 'an' is required. 'An' is used for nouns beginning with a vowel, 'visa' begins with a consonant, hence the option 'a' is the correct article for 'visa'. Also, indefinite articles 'a' and 'an' are not used for plural nouns, hence 'a' is incorrect for the noun 'countries' and so is 'an'. 'Some' denotes an unspecified number of the noun, whether a count or a non-count noun. Here, the number of 'countries' is not specified and it is some of many countries that require a visa, not all, hence 'some' is the correct option. 'A' being the correct option for the first sentence and 'some' being the correct option for the second sentence, narrows down to option D which is the correct answer.

Kalyan Sengupta answered |
Explanation:
Definite Article 'The'
- In this sentence, the definite article 'the' is used before the word 'house' to specify which house is being referred to.
- The speaker is indicating a specific house among others, the one on the right.
- In English, 'the' is used to refer to a specific noun that is known to the reader or listener.
Identifying Possession
- The phrase "belongs to my uncle" indicates ownership or possession.
- It tells us who the house belongs to, which is the speaker's uncle.
Correct Answer
- Therefore, the appropriate article to fill in the blank is 'The' as it specifies a particular house on the right, which belongs to the speaker's uncle.

Devika Basak answered |
Explanation:
In English grammar, articles are used before nouns to indicate whether we are referring to a specific or general thing. There are two types of articles: definite (the) and indefinite (a/an). In this sentence, the correct article to use is no article (d) because:
- Mount Everest is a proper noun, which means it refers to a specific thing. Therefore, we do not need an article to specify which mountain we are talking about.
- Also, the sentence is making a general statement about Mount Everest's height, so we do not need to indicate whether there are other mountains like it.
Therefore, the correct sentence is:
Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world.

Shubham Gupta answered |
Explanation:
The given sentence is talking about a profession which is 'architect'. Here are the following rules regarding the use of articles in front of a noun:
- When we talk about something for the first time, we use 'a' or 'an' (indefinite articles).
- When we talk about something specific, we use 'the' (definite article).
- When we talk about a profession, we use 'an' or 'a' depending on the sound of the first letter of the profession's name.
In the given sentence, the profession is 'architect'. The sound of the first letter 'a' is a vowel sound, so we use 'an' before 'architect'.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A': An architect is trained in design, drafting, and economics.

Sarita Singh answered |
Option A is correct because the statement is a general statement about a substance (salt) and the noun is also a non-countable hence it does not need an article. Options A and B are incorrect because the noun is a non-countable noun. Option D is incorrect because the 'salt' is being referred to in general, not in specific terms.

Coders Trust answered |
'An/A' is used as an indefinite article for a thing or person when the reader doesn't know which one we are referring to out of many nouns. It states the random nature of the subject.
'The' is used as a definite article for a thing or person when the reader knows which one we are exactly referring to. It states the specific nature of the subject.
Option A is incorrect as An can't be used with a word beginning with consonant. Option C is incorrect as 'The' is used as a definite article for a particular noun, not for any tree in this case. We use an indefinite article in front of a singular countable noun i.e. the tall tree. Hence Option B is correct.
'The' is used as a definite article for a thing or person when the reader knows which one we are exactly referring to. It states the specific nature of the subject.
