Test: Articles - 2 - Class 7 MCQ

Key Points:
- The correct article to use in this sentence is "the".
- The word "money" is a singular noun and requires a determiner before it.
Explanation:
To answer this question, we need to understand the usage of articles and determiners in English grammar. Here's a detailed explanation:
1. Articles:
- Articles are a type of determiner that specify the noun being referred to. They can be definite (the) or indefinite (a/an).
- Definite article "the" is used when we are referring to a specific noun that is already known or has been mentioned before.
- Indefinite article "a/an" is used when we are referring to a non-specific noun or when mentioning something for the first time.
2. Determiners:
- Determiners are words that come before a noun to provide more information about it. They include articles, possessive pronouns (my, your, his, her, their), demonstratives (this, that, these, those), etc.
- In this sentence, we need to use a determiner before the noun "money" to specify how we will split it.
Now, let's analyze the options provided:
A:

The

- This is the correct answer. It uses the definite article "the" before the noun "money". It implies that there is a specific amount of money that will be split.
B:

A

- This is incorrect. The indefinite article "a" is not suitable in this context because it suggests that we will split an unspecified amount of money.
C:

An

- This is incorrect. The indefinite article "an" is used before words starting with a vowel sound. Since "money" starts with the consonant sound /m/, "an" is not appropriate here.
D:

0

- This is incorrect. "0" is not a valid option for an article or determiner.
In conclusion, the correct answer is A:

The

. After we rob the bank, we'll split up the money.

The most suitable article to fill in the blank is "The".
Explanation:
- The definite article "The" is used before singular nouns when the noun is specific or already mentioned.
- In this case, "Mr. Kalam" is a specific person, and the phrase "Newton of India" is a title given to him.
- Since this is a unique and specific title associated with Mr. Kalam, we use "The" before it.
- Therefore, the correct answer is "The" as in option A.

The correct answer is B:

The

.
Here is a detailed explanation:
- Max doesn't like his job but stays at it because _____ salary is good.
- The sentence suggests that Max is not satisfied with his job, but he continues working because of the good salary he receives.
- In the given sentence, we need to choose the appropriate article to complete the sentence.
- The indefinite article "A" (option A) is used before singular countable nouns that begin with a consonant sound. However, "salary" starts with a consonant sound, so "A" cannot be used here.
- The indefinite article "An" (option C) is used before singular countable nouns that begin with a vowel sound. However, "salary" starts with a consonant sound, so "An" cannot be used here.
- The number "0" (option D) is not a suitable article to complete the sentence.
- The definite article "The" (option B) is used before singular and plural nouns when the noun being referred to is already known or has been mentioned before. In this case, the sentence refers to a specific salary, which is the one Max receives. Therefore, "The" is the correct article to use here.
- Hence, the correct answer is B:

The

.

To determine the most suitable article to fill in the blank, we need to consider the context and grammar rules. Here's the breakdown:
1. The context:
- Raghu felt sleepy after the day's labor.
- He went to ______ bed.
2. Grammar rules:
- "Bed" is a singular countable noun.
- When we refer to a specific bed, we use the definite article "the."
- When we refer to a non-specific bed, we use the indefinite articles "a" or "an."
3. Analysis:
- The sentence does not provide any specific information about the bed Raghu went to. It could be any bed, not a particular one.
- Therefore, we need to use an indefinite article.
4. Options:
- A: "The" (definite article) - Not suitable because we don't have a specific bed in the context.
- B: "A" (indefinite article) - Suitable because it indicates any bed.
- C: "An" (indefinite article) - Not suitable because "an" is used before words starting with a vowel sound, and "bed" does not start with a vowel sound.
- D: No article - Not suitable because we need an article to indicate the indefinite nature of the bed.
Conclusion:
The most suitable article to fill in the blank is "A" (option B). Therefore, the correct answer is B:

A

.

The given sentence states that the ABC Corporation spends a lot of money on _____ furniture. To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the options provided:
A:

0

This option is incorrect because spending zero money on furniture does not align with the statement that the ABC Corporation spends a lot of money on furniture.
B:

A

This option is incorrect because the indefinite article "A" does not make sense when referring to furniture.
C:

The

This option is incorrect because the definite article "The" implies that the ABC Corporation spends money on specific furniture, which contradicts the statement that they spend money on a lot of furniture.
D:

An

This option is incorrect because the indefinite article "An" does not make sense when referring to furniture.
Therefore, the correct answer is A:

0

. However, it is important to note that the sentence might be incomplete or have missing information, as it does not provide a suitable option for the blank.

To fill in the blanks with the most suitable articles, let's consider the options given:
A: The, the
B: The, a
C: The, an
D: A, an
To determine the correct choice, we need to understand the context of the sentence. The sentence states "The man you saw here yesterday is _ uncle of mine."
1. The first blank:
- Since we are referring to a specific man, the definite article "the" is appropriate.
- Therefore, the correct choice for the first blank is "The."
2. The second blank:
- We are referring to a man who is related to the speaker, but it is not specified which uncle it is.
- In this case, we use the indefinite article "an" before the noun "uncle."
- Therefore, the correct choice for the second blank is "an."
Based on the above analysis, the correct choice for filling in the blanks is option C: "The, an."

The correct answer is A: The
Solution:

• The word "furniture" is an uncountable noun, meaning it does not have a plural form and cannot be preceded by "a" or "an".
• "The" is a definite article used to refer to specific items known to both the speaker and listener.
• In this context, "the furniture" specifies the particular furniture in the living room known to both parties.

To fill in the blanks with the most suitable articles, we need to consider the context and grammar rules. Here's the breakdown of the options:
A: The, no article
- "The Tribune" is a specific newspaper, so "the" is the suitable definite article.
- "Punjab" is a proper noun and does not require an article.
B: The, the
- "The Tribune" is a specific newspaper, so "the" is the suitable definite article.
- Using "the" before "Punjab" is incorrect because "Punjab" is a proper noun and does not require an article.
C: The, an
- "The Tribune" is a specific newspaper, so "the" is the suitable definite article.
- Using "an" before "Punjab" is incorrect because "Punjab" is a proper noun and does not require an article.
D: An, an
- Using "an" before "Tribune" is incorrect because "Tribune" does not start with a vowel sound.
- Using "an" before "Punjab" is incorrect because "Punjab" is a proper noun and does not require an article.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A: The, no article.

The correct answer is D: A.

Explanation:

To determine the correct choice, let's analyze the given sentence:
"Max needs to buy _____ new hard drive for his computer."
In this sentence, we are looking for the appropriate article to fill in the blank before "new hard drive." Here's a breakdown of the options:
- A: An
- B: 0
- C: The
- D: A
To choose the correct article, we need to consider the following:
1. The word "new" is used before "hard drive," indicating that it is a specific item.
2. The sentence does not provide any previous context or mention of a specific hard drive.
Based on these considerations, we can conclude that the correct article to use is "A" because it implies that Max needs to buy any new hard drive for his computer.
Therefore, the correct answer is D: A.

The correct answer is D: No article, no article.

Here is the explanation:

• When talking about general concepts or things in a universal sense, we do not use any article. In this case, "ice" and "water" are referring to these general concepts.


• The absence of articles indicates that "ice" and "water" are used in a non-specific or non-countable way.


• If we were talking about a specific piece of ice or a specific body of water, we would use the definite article "the". However, since the sentence is talking about ice and water in a general sense, no article is needed.


• Using an indefinite article like "an" or "a" would imply that we are referring to a singular instance of ice or water, which is not the intended meaning in this sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is D: No article, no article.

Analysis:
To determine the correct answer, we need to consider the grammatical rules and meaning of the sentence.
Given Information:
- There can be many surprises in _____ life.
- Options: A, An, The, and A.
- Answer: a.

Let's analyze each option and its suitability in the sentence:
A: 0
- This option is a number and not a suitable choice for completing the sentence.
B: An
- The word "an" is used before a word starting with a vowel sound.
- In this case, "life" starts with a consonant sound (/l/), so "an" is not appropriate.
C: The
- "The" is a definite article that is used to refer to a specific noun.
- In this sentence, we are not referring to a specific life, but rather any life in general.
- Therefore, "the" is not the correct choice.
D: A
- "A" is an indefinite article that is used to refer to a non-specific noun.
- In this sentence, "a" is the correct choice as it refers to any life in general.
Conclusion:
Based on the analysis, the correct answer is option D: A.

To determine the most suitable articles to fill in the blanks, let's consider the context and rules of article usage in English grammar.
Context:
Kartik is sailing to _____ Europe via _____ Cape of Good Hope.
Rules of Article Usage:
1. "The" is used when referring to a specific noun that both the speaker and the listener are familiar with.
2. "A" or "An" is used when referring to a non-specific noun or when introducing something for the first time.
Analysis:
In the given context, we can analyze the following:
1. "Europe": Although Europe is a proper noun, it is not specified whether Kartik is sailing to a specific country or region within Europe. Therefore, the article used should be non-specific. Hence, "a" is the most suitable article.
2. "Cape of Good Hope": "Cape of Good Hope" is a specific geographical location, and it is a well-known place. Hence, we can use the definite article "the" before it.
Conclusion:
Based on the analysis, the most suitable articles to fill in the blanks are "a" before "Europe" and "the" before "Cape of Good Hope."
Therefore, the correct answer is B: the, the.

 

The correct answer is option D: A, a.
Explanation:
- The first blank should be filled with the indefinite article "a" because Atul can't concentrate on any specific books, not a particular book.
- The second blank should also be filled with the indefinite article "a" because the headache mentioned is not a specific headache, but rather a general one.
Therefore, the most suitable articles to fill in the blanks are "a" and "a".
