Olympiad Test Level 2: Articles- 2

A. Article 'a' is used before consonants hence; will match with uniform as the vowel 'u' is giving the sound of a consonant.
B. Article 'an' is used before vowels hence; will match with avocado 3.
C. Article 'the' is used before a specific ocean, The Indian Ocean 2.
D. no Article is used before a country's name, France 1.

Article 'a' is used before the word 'man' as it begins with a consonant sound 'm'. Also, the sentence isn't talking about any specific man.

Article 'a' is used before the word 'big' as it begins with a consonant sound 'b'.

No article comes before a determiner like 'many'.

'the' is appropriately used at both places in the sentence because this statement is a common expression to compare situation of other people in our lives.

No article will be used in both the blanks as we do not use article before name of a subject/ course (chiid development) and many universities in general.

A comes before consonant 'f' and 'the' is used appropriately as the sentence is talking about the specific school bus.

'the' is used appropriately as the sentence talks about the particular cake made 'yesterday'.

Usually we use article 'an' before vowel sounds and the word 'university' begins with a vowel 'u' however; the 'u' here is pronounced with a long vowel sound 'yew' therefore, we do not use an in this sentence.
