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

Articles are not used with names of persons.

1. "a mango"

   • Use "a" before words that start with consonant sounds (like M for mango!).

   • Example: "a mango," "a banana," "a cat."

2. "the morning"

   • Use "the" for specific times we all know, like "the morning" or "the evening."

Why Others Are Wrong:

• Option B: "the mango" means one special mango (like the mango from yesterday).

• Option C: "an mango" – "an" is only for words starting with A, E, I, O, U (like an apple).

• Option D: "an morning" – "morning" starts with M, so use "a morning."

‘An’ is used before the vowel sound.

A particular car is being talked about.

The correct answer is B: "The girls are playing with the dolls."

• Definite Article "The": Used to refer to specific nouns that both the speaker and listener know. Here, "the girls" and "the dolls" are specific groups known to the context.
• Indefinite Article "A": Used for non-specific singular nouns. In sentence C, "a dolls" is incorrect because "a" should be used with singular nouns, and "dolls" is plural.
• Option D lacks articles, which is correct for general statements but does not match the requirement for specific context.
