Supply a suitable article in the following blank if needed : 
I first met him __________ year ago.

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

In this sentence, the noun is "year," which is a singular countable noun. Since we are not referring to a specific year, we need to use the indefinite article "a" before the noun. Therefore, the correct sentence is "I first met him a year ago."

Test: Type II (Articles) - Question 8

Fill in the blanks with suitable Article from the given alternatives.
Lionel Messi wins best FIFA player of ____________ year.

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

In the given sentence, "best FIFA player of the year" is referring to a specific award given by FIFA, the international governing body of football. Since this award is unique and specific, we need to use the definite article "the" before the noun "year". This indicates that the award being referred to is the one that is given out annually by FIFA.

The definite article "the" is used to refer to a specific noun or thing that is already known to the listener or reader. In this case, the noun "year" is being used in reference to the particular year that the FIFA award was given to Lionel Messi, and we can assume that both the speaker and listener are aware of this context. Therefore, we use "the" to refer to the specific award that Messi won.

Test: Type II (Articles) - Question 9

Fill in the blanks with suitable Article from the given alternatives.
Hindustan Times is _______ Indian English-language daily newspaper founded in 1924.

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

In this sentence, the correct article to be used before the word "Indian" is "a". "A" is the indefinite article used before a singular noun that is unspecified or unknown to the listener/reader. Here, the listener/reader may not be aware of Hindustan Times being an Indian newspaper, and hence the indefinite article "a" is used to introduce this information. The definite article "the" would be used if the listener/reader was already aware of Hindustan Times being an Indian newspaper.

Test: Type II (Articles) - Question 10

I always take ____ sugar in my te

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

In English, articles are used to indicate the noun's specificity or indefiniteness. The definite article "the" is used when referring to a particular or specific noun, while the indefinite articles "a" and "an" are used to refer to a general or unspecified noun.

In the given sentence, the speaker is not referring to a specific amount of sugar but rather indicating a general habit of always adding sugar to their tea. Therefore, none of the articles "the," "a," or "an" should be used.

So, the sentence should be written as "I always take sugar in my tea."
