Olympiad Test: Articles - Class 5 MCQ

To determine the suitable article for the given sentence, we need to consider the noun "hotel" and the context of the sentence. Let's analyze the options:
A: An - This article is used before words that begin with a vowel sound. Since the word "hotel" begins with the consonant sound "h," this article is not suitable.
B: The - This article is used to refer to specific nouns that are known or have been mentioned before. Since no specific hotel has been mentioned or referred to in the sentence, this article is not suitable.
C: A - This article is used before singular countable nouns when they are mentioned for the first time or in a general sense. Since the sentence does not provide any specific information about the hotel, using the indefinite article "a" would be appropriate.
D: None of these - This option is not suitable as it does not provide a specific article choice.
Therefore, the suitable article for the sentence "_____ hotel" is "A."

The suitable article to fill in the blank is "the".
Explanation:
- The article "the" is used to refer to a specific object or thing.
- In the given sentence, the speaker is referring to a specific report.
- Therefore, "the" should be used before the noun "end" to indicate a particular end of the report.
- The correct sentence would be: "Make sure you put your name at the end of the report."

To determine the suitable article to fill in the blank in the given sentence, we need to consider the context and meaning of the sentence.
The sentence is requesting someone to close the door because it is cold. Based on this information, we can conclude that the door being referred to is a specific door that is known to both the speaker and the listener.
Therefore, the correct answer is (B) The, as "the" is a definite article used to refer to a specific noun that both the speaker and the listener are familiar with. In this case, it is the door that is mentioned earlier in the conversation or is known to both parties.

To determine the correct article to fill in the blank, we need to consider the context of the sentence. The phrase "the centre of the city" suggests that there is a specific center that is being referred to.
The correct answer is "B: The" because:
- The definite article "the" is used when referring to a specific noun that is known to both the speaker and the listener.
- In this case, the speaker is referring to a specific center of the city, indicating that there is only one center being discussed.
Therefore, the sentence should read: "We have got our new offices near the centre of the city."

To fill in the blank with the suitable article, we need to consider the noun it modifies, which in this case is "sandwich". The choice of article depends on whether the noun is countable or uncountable, and whether it is specific or non-specific.

Options:

1. An




2. The




3. A




4. None of these

Explanation:

The correct article to use in this sentence is "a". Here's why:

• "An" is used before words that start with a vowel sound. Since "sandwich" starts with the consonant sound /s/, we cannot use "an" in this case.


• "The" is used before specific nouns that have already been mentioned or are known to the speaker and listener. Since there is no prior mention or specific sandwich being referred to, we cannot use "the" in this case.


• "A" is used before non-specific countable nouns. Since "sandwich" is a countable noun and there is no specific sandwich being referred to, we use "a" in this case.


• "None of these" is not the correct answer because "a" is the suitable article to use in this sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C: A.

The correct answer is B: A/a/the. Let's break down the sentence and analyze the usage of articles in each blank.
1. "When you come out of the lift, you'll see two doors, _____ red one and _____ blue one."
- In this sentence, we are referring to two specific doors - one red and one blue. Therefore, we need to use the definite article "the" before both colors.
2. "My door is _____ red one."
- Here, we are referring to a specific red door, the one that belongs to the speaker. Hence, we need to use the indefinite article "a" before "red" to indicate that it is one among many.
To summarize, the correct articles to fill in the blanks are:
- The red one
- A blue one
- A red one
Therefore, the correct answer is B: A/a/the.

Explanation:

The correct article to fill in the blank is "the".

Reasoning:

When referring to a specific group of people, it is appropriate to use the definite article "the". In this case, "the poor" refers to a specific group of individuals who are living in poverty.

Summary:

The correct article to fill in the blank is "the".

The correct answer is "B: The"
Explanation:
- The sentence states that the greatest invention of the 20th century is the computer.
- The definite article "the" is used before a noun when we are referring to a specific person, place, or thing.
- In this case, the sentence is referring to a specific invention, which is the computer.
- Therefore, the correct article to use in this sentence is "the".

Explanation:
To determine the suitable article to fill in the blank, we need to consider the context and grammar rules.
Context:
The sentence states "I'm looking for _____ new job." This implies that the speaker is searching for a job.
Grammar Rule:
When we talk about a general, non-specific noun for the first time, we use the indefinite article "a" or "an." The choice between "a" and "an" depends on the sound that follows the article.
Analysis:
In this case, the noun "job" starts with a consonant sound, so we need to use the indefinite article "a."
Answer:
The suitable article to fill in the blank is "a."

The correct answer is option C: a/the.
Explanation:
- The first blank requires the indefinite article "a" because the speaker saw an unidentified man going into the office.
- The second blank requires the definite article "the" because the speaker is referring to a specific man (the one seen going into the office).
So, the sentence should be: "I saw a man going into the office. I don't know who the man was."

Answer:

Explanation:

 

The correct article to fill in the blank is The.

 

Reasoning:

 

• The use of the definite article "The" is appropriate in this context because it refers to a specific company, British Airways. It implies that there is only one company with this name, making it unique and distinct.


• Since the sentence mentions that British Airways is one of the oldest companies in the world, it suggests that it is well-known and recognized, further justifying the use of the definite article.
  
   
• Therefore, the correct answer is option B: The.

 

 

The correct article to fill in the blank is "The".
Explanation:
- The World Bank is a specific organization that is well-known to the general public.
- The definite article "The" is used to refer to specific nouns that are known to both the speaker and the listener.
- In this case, since we are referring to a particular organization called "The World Bank," we use "The" as the appropriate article.
- The options provided are "An," "The," "A," and "None of these."
- As "The" is the correct article to use in this context, the correct answer is option B: "The."
- The other options, "An" and "A," are indefinite articles used to refer to non-specific nouns.
- "None of these" is not the correct answer as the appropriate article is indeed present among the options.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B: "The."

Correct answer is C.

Introduction:
In this question, we are given a sentence where we need to determine the suitable article to fill in the blank. The options provided are "A", "An", "The", and "None of these". Let's analyze the sentence to find the correct article.
Analysis:
- The sentence states that "she went straight to the kitchen and started to prepare ____ meal for us."
- Since the sentence does not specifically mention any particular meal, we need to use an indefinite article.
- The indefinite articles in English are "a" and "an", which are used to refer to a non-specific or generic noun.

The correct answer is option A: "A".
Explanation:
- The indefinite article "a" is used before a noun that begins with a consonant sound.
- In this case, the noun is "meal" which begins with the consonant sound 'm'.
- Therefore, the correct article to fill in the blank is "a".
Conclusion:
So, when we arrived, she went straight to the kitchen and started to prepare a meal for us.

Explanation:

Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world. When referring to a specific mountain, we use the definite article "the". Therefore, the correct answer is "The".

The correct answer is The.

The correct answer is option C: "the" for both blanks.
Explanation:
- The first blank requires the article "the" because it is referring to a specific weather condition.
- The second blank also requires the article "the" because it is referring to a specific time of day, namely "the day."
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Do you like the weather here? Isn't it too hot during the day?"

The suitable article to fill in the blank is "A".

Explanation:

• The word "young" starts with a consonant sound, so we use the article "A" before it.


• The word "parsee" also starts with a consonant sound, so again we use the article "A" before it.

Therefore, the sentence should be written as:

"Rustum is a young parsee."
