Test: Articles- 2 - Class 6 MCQ

'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 B is incorrect as 'An' can't be used with a word beginning with consonant.  Option C is incorrect as
'The' will not suit the sense of the sentence. Option A is correct as it suits the meaning of the sentence and is grammatically correct. 

'A' is an indefinite article which is usually used before a noun which begins with a consonant, is singular and it's the first time that the noun is being spoken about, making Option B the correct answer. The article 'an' is used when the noun begins with a vowel, and is spoken about for the first time. Since the noun in the statement  does not begin with a vowel, Option A is incorrect. The article 'the' is used for specific nouns, either singular or plural, and have been spoken about earlier. The noun in the given statement seems to have been mentioned for the first time in front of the 2nd person, hence 'the' is not the correct answer. Articles are not required when generalizing about uncountable nouns, plural countable nouns and sometimes even singular nouns (Though, not in the given sentence). Since the noun in the statement is a singular noun, Option D is incorrect.

The statement implies that 'such a severe storm occurs only once in ONE decade'. 'One' can be replaced by the indefinite article 'a' as it precedes a word starting with a consonant sound.

Here, we are referring to a person belonging to a particular class/group. So, the answer should be 'an' as it precedes a word beginning with a vowel sound 'astronaut'. 

The sentence refers to a person belonging to a particular class or group. So, the answer should be the indefinite article 'a' as the word 'doctor' starts with a consonant sound.

Here, 'shower' is a common noun and the sentence does not mention anything definitive about the shower. So, the most appropriate answer is option A) A. Option B) An is incorrect because 'shower' starts with a consonant. Option C) The is incorrect because there is nothing to suggest that the shower is a definitive one. 'Shower' is not owned by the subject, so we cannot use 'his'.

Most proper nouns do not need an article, but there are exceptions. Like in the given sentence, 'Moses' does not refer to the prophet himself, but in a metaphorical sense, his qualities as a leader are referred to. Hence option A is correct. Option B is incorrect because the noun does not begin with a vowel. Option C is incorrect because there can only be one Moses, and 'he' cannot be someone else, except metaphorically. Option D is incorrect because it's used for nouns which are nearby and the noun mentioned is physically impossible to be nearby.

We use 'the' when the adjective that modifies the noun 'woman' is in the superlative degree 'first'. Hence option C is the correct answer. Options A and B are indefinite articles which refer to the noun as 'any one' of its group. Since there can't be 'any first' Indian woman, these options are incorrect. An article is required before a superlative adjective, because the superlative 'first' is unique, there can only be one 'first' since it's a position, hence option D is incorrect. Also, an article is not required when the noun is spoken about in general sense, whereas the noun 'woman' is specific here.

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 definite article is an article that tells the uniqueness of something.
'The' is the only definite article.
The blank shall take 'a' as 'German car' is a noun complement.
A Mercedes is a German car.
The correct answer is option A) A.

Articles are not used before meals except when they take an adjective before them. Here, the article 'a' is used before lavish because it describes the noun lunch in a general sense and 'lavish' begins with a 'consonant sound'. Therefore, the correct option is: I had a lavish lunch yesterday.

Option A is correct as the blank requires no article to carry out the meaning of the sentence. Option D is incorrect because
'An' is used with a word having a vowel sound.  Option B is incorrect as 'The policemen' is illogical here as they haven't been mentioned previously as policemen. Option C is incorrect as 'A' is used for a singular countable noun.

Option D is incorrect as we can figure out the answer from the given options.
