Test: Type III (Articles) - Question 3

 ___ Tilak express is ___ fastest train in India.

Detailed Solution for Test: Type III (Articles) - Question 3

In the sentence, "The Tilak Express is the fastest train in India," we use the definite article "the" before "Tilak Express" because we are referring to a specific train. This implies that there is only one Tilak Express and we are talking about that particular train.

Similarly, we use "the" before "fastest train" because we are referring to a specific category of trains in India, that is, the train which is the fastest among all the trains in India. The use of the definite article "the" implies that there is only one train that holds this title.

Therefore, the correct answer is "The, the" and not "A, a" or "A, an" because we are not talking about any generic train or any random fast train. Instead, we are talking about a specific train and its specific position as the fastest train in India.

Test: Type III (Articles) - Question 4

___ Titanic met with ___ accident in ___ Pacific Ocean.

Detailed Solution for Test: Type III (Articles) - Question 4

In the given sentence, we are talking about a specific event in the past, the sinking of the Titanic. Therefore, we use the definite article "the" before Titanic.

Next, we are referring to an accident, but we do not know which accident. Hence, we use the indefinite article "an" before "accident".

Lastly, we use the definite article "the" before "Pacific Ocean" because we are referring to a specific ocean, that is, the Pacific Ocean.

Therefore, the correct answer is "The, an, the" and not "The, a, a" or "A, the, a" or "The, a, the".

Test: Type III (Articles) - Question 5

Detailed Solution for Test: Type III (Articles) - Question 5

Test: Type III (Articles) - Question 6

Correct the incorrect statement :How gentle person Mr. Bhatia is!

Detailed Solution for Test: Type III (Articles) - Question 6

The correct statement would be ‘How gentle a person Mr. Bhatia is!’. We use a or an before a single countable noun.

Test: Type III (Articles) - Question 7

Insert appropriate articles:

We missed our train because we were waiting on ____ wrong platform. We were on ____ Platform 3 instead of ______ Platform 8.

Detailed Solution for Test: Type III (Articles) - Question 7

'The' is used before specific things / places. No article is used before proper nouns. Here, platform is specific - it is the wrong one. Platform 3 and platform 8 are proper nouns. Therefore, the correct option is: the; no article ; no article. 

Test: Type III (Articles) - Question 8

Complete the given sentence with the best option from those given below.

There's ____ giant tortoise in the Galapagos Islands nicknamed Lonesome George. 

Detailed Solution for Test: Type III (Articles) - Question 8

In the given sentence, we are talking about one giant tortoise. When the noun is singular an article must be used before it. 
'A' is used in front of words that start with a consonant sound.
'An' is used in front of words that start with a vowel sound.
'The' can be used with both singular and plural nouns, however the usage of 'the' denotes that the denoting person or thing is already mentioned or known by the reader or listener.
Thus, in the given sentence the apt answer is Option B, 'a'.
 

Test: Type III (Articles) - Question 9

P : I think it is a good idea to ban autos from the city centre.
Q : You need to realize that to save a rupee is to earn a rupee.

Which of the above statements is/are correct?

Detailed Solution for Test: Type III (Articles) - Question 9

In the first sentence, the 'good idea' is mentioned for the first time hence it requires the article 'a' to be put ahead of it, and city centre is a government district and not a proper noun. Also, it is known to the listener because it is a geographical unit of the city, hence 'the' is used. The first statement is correct, and so is the second statement. The phrase 'to save a rupee is to earn a rupee' is more of a saying, which refers to the rupee as any rupee, not just a specific one, hence 'a' is used, making the second statement correct as well. Since both the statements are correct, Option A is the answer and the other options are incorrect for the above mentioned reasons.

Test: Type III (Articles) - Question 10

Fill in blanks with the most suitable articles: 
Tom belongs to _______ United Kingdom but his wife hails from ______ India.

Detailed Solution for Test: Type III (Articles) - Question 10

Articles are not used before names of countries. But, there are a few exceptions. When you simply take the common names of countries, like India, Britain, China, Taiwan, America, you do not use an article.
But, when you refer to their union or their republic, then you use the article 'the'; The Republic of India, The United Kingdom, The Republic of China, The United States of America.
Option C: In the given sentence, we're referring to the UK and India as a union and the common country name, respectively. Hence option C: the, no article is the correct option.
For the same reason, options A, B and D are incorrect.
