Rohit Sharma answered |
An indefinite article is used when we are talking generally about something whereas a definite article is used when we are talking about something specific.
The indefinite articles are 'a' and 'an'. An is used before a word starting with a vowel or vowel sound. A is used before a word starting with a consonant or consonant sound.
A definite article is an article that tells the uniqueness of something.
The' is the only definite article.
The first blank won't take any article as the use of prison here indicates its primary purpose. The second blank shall take 'the' as Tracey's father went to the prison Tracey was in.
The correct answer is D) no article / the.
Tracey has been in prison for a year. Last Sunday his father went to the prison to see him.

Ananya Das answered |
Articles are part of speech, used to indicate nouns and to specify their application. Definite articles (the) limit the meaning of a noun to one particular thing. Indefinite articles (a, an) indicate that a noun refers to a general idea and not a particular thing.
In the given sentence, we are talking about a particular bus that gave a signal before taking a turn. Thus, in this case, the use of a definite article is required.
Options A and B are not definite articles.
Option D - That' does not bring out the intended meaning. It is used to indicate that the object is not in close proximity to the speaker or something which is not present in the moment.
Thus, the correct answer will be Option (c)

It is stated that there are many beavers in the park. This suggests that the sentence is talking about a particular park. So, the definite article 'the' should be used.

Madhavan Kapoor answered |
Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'C' - No article required, no article required.
In this sentence, Tom is studying two subjects - English and Physics. Let's analyze the usage of articles in each case:
1. English:
- When we talk about academic subjects in general, we don't use an article. For example, "Tom is studying English" means that he is studying the subject as a whole, not a specific version or type of English. So, no article is required before "English" in this sentence.
2. Physics:
- Similarly, when we talk about academic subjects in general, we don't use an article. "Physics" is being used in a general sense, indicating the subject as a whole. Therefore, no article is required before "Physics" in this sentence.
Summary:
In the sentence "Tom is studying English and Physics," no articles are required before either "English" or "Physics" because both subjects are being mentioned in a general sense.
The correct answer is option 'C' - No article required, no article required.

Prateek Unni answered |
Explanation:
Use of Articles in English Grammar:
- In this sentence, the word "bad luck" is a singular countable noun that is being used in a general sense.
- When a singular countable noun is used in a general sense, we do not use an article before it.
- Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D' which is "no article".
Explanation of Options:
a) "a" is an indefinite article used before singular countable nouns when we are talking about one of many.
b) "an" is an indefinite article used before singular countable nouns that begin with a vowel sound.
c) "the" is a definite article used before singular or plural nouns when we are talking about a specific thing or things.
Therefore, in this sentence, the correct choice is option 'D' which is no article.

The sun is_________star.
a)

d)

|
|
Raghav Bansal answered |
The 'star' refers to all the existing stars. The Sun is one of these stars. The articles 'a' and 'an also mean 'one'. 'An' is used when the noun begins with a vowel, and the star begins with a consonant, hence the correct option is 'a', and 'an' is the incorrect option. 'The' is an incorrect answer because the sun isn't the only star. The option D is incorrect because an article is required in the given statement as we are not referring to the star in a general sense.

The definite article 'the' is used before specific things/places. Here, we are referring to the specific television that nobody was watching. Therefore, the correct option is ‘the’.

Complete the sentence with the most appropriate option from those given below:
Maya is________analyst
a)
A
b)
An
c)
The
d)
One
|
Kiran Mehta answered |
Option B is the correct answer because 'an' is an indefinite article that is used before a non-specific singular noun starting with a vowel sound. Since 'analyst' starts with a vowel and we don't have enough information to know if Maya is a specific analyst, this is the aptest answer to this question.
Option A is incorrect because 'a' can only be used before non-specific nouns that start with a consonant.
Option C is incorrect because this sentence requires an indefinite article as we do not know if Maya is a specific analyst and 'the' is a definite article.
Option D is incorrect because it would be grammatically incorrect if used in the sentence.

the/the/no article
c)
a/the/a
d)
no article/the/no article
e)
an/the/a
|
|
Rohit Sharma answered |
Option (A) is the correct answer.
There are two types of articles:
DEFINITE ARTICLE (THE): Article 'the' is used to refer to a DEFINITE thing or person. INDEFINITE ARTICLE(A/AN): Article 'a/an' is used to refer to a thing or person in general. For instance: man, door, etc.
Article 'a' is used with consonant sounds whereas article 'an' is used with vowel sounds.
In the first blank, article "a" will be used as it is written 'American Polar Traveller' and it is a general noun.
In the second blank, article "the" will be used because article "the" is used when with ordinals such as "first", "second" T, etc and it is given that 'he was first to reach.' Similarly, 'North Pole' is a proper noun (something unique). Therefore, in the third blank, article "the" will be used.

No article is used before the names of meals. However, if meals are identified with adjectives, they can be used with articles. Here, 'good' is the positive degree of the adjective and is used to describe the meal. Therefore, the correct option is ‘no article; a’.

Aditya Shah 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 C is correct because 'An' is used with a word having a vowel sound. Excellent has a vowel sound. Option A is incorrect as the blank requires an article to carry out the meaning of the sentence. Option D is incorrect as The excellent' is illogical here as there can be other sports which can be as excellent as swimming. Option B is incorrect as 'A' is used for a word with a consonant sound.

Meera Rana answered |
'A' and 'an' are indefinite articles used for nouns which are not specific, indefinite, and singular. The birds mentioned are plural hence options B and C are incorrect. 'Some' is a quantifier which is usually used in a positive statement. 'Some' means an unspecified quantity or number, which is little or less. Hence it's the correct option here. The penguin' is a specific group, it is one of the birds that cannot fly, if the bird penguin was used as a general noun (penguins) eliminating the use of 'the' before 'penguin', then Option D would have been correct, but in this case, it's incorrect.

|

Rohit Sharma answered |
As the band's name is specified, we can understand that 'Anu' plays the band's guitar. Hence the guitar is a specific guitar. Thus we can use 'the' here.
'Drums' is also a specific noun here as it is a part of the band's instruments. Thus we will use 'the' here as well.
Thus option A is the correct answer.
Options B, C, and D are incorrect.

Animesh shah answered |
Understanding Article Usage
The sentence "Then he had _____ shower" requires the correct article to complete it. The options provided are: a) a, b) an, c) the, d) his.
Why "a" is the Correct Answer
- Countable Nouns: The noun "shower" is a countable noun. When referring to any one of a class of items, we typically use "a" or "an."
- Indefinite Article: "A" is used before words that begin with a consonant sound. Since "shower" starts with the consonant sound /ʃ/, "a" is the appropriate choice.
- Context of Usage: The phrase suggests that the shower is not a specific one known to the reader. It implies any shower, thus justifying the use of the indefinite article "a."
Other Options Explanation
- Option b) an: This is incorrect since "an" is used before vowels or vowel sounds, which does not apply here.
- Option c) the: This is a definite article, indicating a specific shower, which is not the case in this context.
- Option d) his: This would imply ownership but does not fit grammatically as it does not serve as an article.
Conclusion
In summary, the correct answer is "a" because it matches the grammatical rules of using articles with countable nouns and fits the context of the sentence. Understanding article usage is crucial for clear and correct English communication.

Gaurav Kumar answered |
The article 'an' is used when the noun is known only to the speaker, it is an indefinite noun, and it begins with a vowel/vowel sound. Hence Option B is correct. 'A' is used for the same reasons as 'an', the only difference being that the noun starts with a consonant, hence option A is incorrect. Option C is used for a noun which has been mentioned before since it hasn't been mentioned before in the given statement, it's incorrect. Since an article is required for the reasons that are mentioned earlier and we are not referring to the insurance company generally, option D is also incorrect as we need an article in the given context.

Kiran Mehta answered |
We use the definite article in front of a noun when we believe the listener/reader knows exactly what we are referring to: because there is only one, that is, only one last position. This is why we use the definite article with a superlative adjective, like last. Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence, incorrect.

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 C is incorrect grammatically as the blank requires a word for giving meaning to the sentence. Option B is incorrect as 'An' cannot be used with a word having a consonant sound. In Option D The' is used as the definite article with a particular noun, but this sentence talks about Banaras as a city out of many holy cities. Option A is correct as '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.

Vivek Rana answered |
The first blank refers to cold, and the second to fire. Since cold is specified to the one that's outside, a definite article of "the" will be used in the first blank.
Thus, C and E cannot be the answers.
Fire is specified to the one that's inside, a definite article of "the" will be used in the second blank.
Thus, B and D cannot be the answers.
A is the answer.

Naina Sharma answered |
In expressing a comparison, if two nouns refer to the same person or thing, the article is used before the first noun only. But if the nouns refer to different persons or things, the article is used before each noun. Since in the given statement, both the nouns dancer and singer refer to one person the article will be used before the first noun only and no article will be used before 'singer'. Also, the indefinite article 'a' should be used whenever someone's work or job is being referred to. Therefore Option D is the correct answer. Since the nouns are not used to refer to the different types of work she does, the indefinite article 'a' cannot be used before the second noun' singer'. Therefore, Option A is incorrect. The' cannot be used when the nouns are being used in a general sense to single out any individual as the representative of a class. Therefore, Option B and C are incorrect.

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 B is correct as 'A' as an article suits the blank as 'a movie' implies any movie that is random in nature. 'A' is used with singular countable nouns. Option C is incorrect because 'An' is used with a word having a vowel sound. The movie is incorrect. Option A is incorrect as The' indicates a particular movie mentioned previously in the passage. Option D is incorrect as an article is required to carry out the meaning of the sentence.

'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.
We use different articles for mentioning different subjects. Now as we see we have two different dresses, one is black and the other is white. We need a sentence with a conjunction that joins both these sentences to convey a proper meaning. Henceforth And is used as the conjunction in all the options. Option D doesn't make any sense. Option C says she has many black and white printed dresses which doesn't go with the meaning of the given sentence. Option A says she has only one black and white dress which again conveys a wrong meaning. Hence Option B is correct

OPTION "A" is the correct answer.
There are two types of articles:
DEFINITE ARTICLE (THE): Article 'the' is used to refer to a DEFINITE thing or person. INDEFINITE ARTICLE(A/AN): Article 'a/an' is used to refer to a thing or person in general. For instance: man, door etc.
Article 'a' is used with consonant sounds whereas article 'an' is used with vowel sounds.
In the first blank, article "an" will be used because article "a" is used when the speaker is making a general statement.
Similarly, In the second blank, article "a" will be used because article "an" is used when the speaker is making a general statement and the noun is having a consonant sound.
In the third blank, "no article" or "zero article" because 'no article' is used to refer to general ideas or general estimations.

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 C is incorrect as The' is inappropriate since it is used as a definite article for something previously mentioned. Option D is incorrect as This’s used is inappropriate since it signifies something previously mentioned. Option B is incorrect as 'An' cannot be used with a word having a consonant at the beginning and having a consonant sound. We use a singular noun to say something about all things of that kind. Hence Option A is correct.

We use the definite article 'the' in front of a noun when we believe the hearer/reader knows exactly what we are referring to. Since from the sentence we know that Thomas went into a specific bathroom and brushed his teeth, option B is the correct answer. Options A and D are incorrect because 'an' and 'a' are indefinite articles that are used before indefinite or non-specific nouns when the hearer/reader doesn’t know what is being referred to. As this is not the case in the given sentence, these options are incorrect.
We use 'that' most commonly to point to a thing or person. As it would be grammatically incorrect if used in the given sentence, option C is incorrect.
