Olympiad Test Level 2: Articles- 1 - Class 2 MCQ

When referring to a single, general onion, "an onion" is the most suitable article.

• The noun is singular and not unique.

• Use the article "A" for singular nouns that are not specific or unique.

Solution:

To fill in blank number 1, the correct answer is “the”. Here’s why:

• “The” is used to refer to specific or known groups.
• In this context, it implies that all the children are part of a particular group known to the speaker.
• Using “an” or “a” would not be appropriate as they refer to non-specific items.
• Therefore, “the” is the most suitable choice for blank number 1.

Solution:

The correct answer is C. The. This choice is appropriate because:

• The phrase refers to a specific teacher known to the children.
• Using “The” indicates that both the narrator and the audience are aware of which teacher is being mentioned.

In contrast:

• A. A would imply any teacher, which is not suitable here.
• B. An is used before words starting with a vowel sound, but it is not applicable in this context.
• D. None of these does not apply since one option is correct.

Solution:

To fill in blank no. 3, we need to determine the correct article to use before the word "door." Here are the key points:

• In this context, there is only one door mentioned - the classroom door.
• When referring to a specific object that is already known or identified, we use the article the.
• Thus, the correct choice is C. the.

The correct option to fill in blank number 4 is  An. This is because:

• The term "alien" begins with a vowel sound.
• In English, we use 'an' before words that start with a vowel sound for ease of pronunciation.
• Using 'a' would be incorrect in this context.

Thus, the sentence should read: "The alien walked in." This indicates that the presence of the alien is being introduced for the first time.

In this context, we are referring to a specific teacher, which is why the definite article is appropriate. Here are the key points:

• When mentioning a specific person or thing, use the.
• The sentence implies that the teacher is known to both the speaker and listeners.
• Using the indicates that it is not just any teacher, but the one involved in the situation.

Therefore, the correct is the.

In this context, we are referring to a specific teacher, which is why the definite article is appropriate. Here are the key points:

• When mentioning a specific person or thing, use the.
• The sentence implies that the teacher is known to both the speaker and listeners.
• Using the indicates that it is not just any teacher, but the one involved in the situation.

Therefore, the correct option is the.

The answer is the.

This is because:

• The is used to refer to specific items or groups.
• In this context, it indicates that all the children are part of the same group that is looking at the alien.
• Using a or an would suggest a general reference, which is not appropriate here.

Therefore, the correct choice is the.

The correct answer is C. The. This choice is appropriate because:

• The phrase refers to a specific teacher known to the children.
• Using “The” indicates that both the narrator and the audience are aware of which teacher is being mentioned.
