Olympiad Test : Article - 1 - Class 7 MCQ

To determine the correct article for the given sentence, we need to consider the noun phrase "largest countries." Here, "largest countries" is a plural noun phrase, and we are talking about India being one of them.
The correct article to use in this case is "a" because:
- "A" is the indefinite article used before singular nouns when they are mentioned for the first time or when they are not specific.
- Since we are talking about India as one of many countries, we are not specifying a particular country, so "a" is the appropriate choice.
Therefore, the correct answer is B: a.

To determine the correct article to fill in the blank in the given sentence, we need to consider the context and meaning of the sentence.
The sentence "I never watch _________television" suggests that the speaker is referring to a general or unspecified type of television. Here are the options and the explanations for each:
A: the
- The definite article "the" is used to refer to a specific noun that is already known or has been mentioned before. In this sentence, "the television" would imply that the speaker is referring to a specific television that has been previously mentioned or is known to both the speaker and the listener. However, since the sentence does not provide any specific context or mention of a particular television, "the" would not be the correct article to use.
B: a
- The indefinite article "a" is used to refer to a singular, non-specific noun. In this sentence, "a television" would imply that the speaker is referring to any television in general. This option could be a possible choice since it reflects the general nature of the sentence.
C: an
- The indefinite article "an" is used before words that begin with a vowel sound. Since "television" begins with a consonant sound, "an" would not be the correct article to use in this sentence.
D: none
- The option "none" indicates that no article is required in this sentence. This option suggests that the speaker is referring to television in a general sense, without specifying any particular television.
Based on the context and meaning of the sentence, the correct answer is D: none.

Given: In fact, I haven’t got _________ television.

To determine the correct article, we need to consider the noun "television".

Analysis:

When we refer to a television in general, we use the indefinite article "a".

When we refer to a specific television that has already been mentioned or is known to the speaker and listener, we use the definite article "the".

Since there is no specific television mentioned in the sentence, we need to use the indefinite article "a".

Answer: B

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

To determine the correct article to use in the given sentence, we need to consider the noun "Taj Mahal" and its level of specificity.
1. The Taj Mahal is a popular tourist attraction.
- "The" is the definite article, used to refer to a specific noun that is already known or has been mentioned before. In this case, if we are referring to a specific Taj Mahal that is known to the speaker and the listener, we would use "the" before Taj Mahal.
- However, if we are introducing Taj Mahal as a popular tourist attraction without any prior knowledge or reference, we would use the indefinite article "a" before Taj Mahal.
2. A Taj Mahal is a popular tourist attraction.
- "A" is the indefinite article, used to refer to a non-specific noun. In this case, if there are multiple Taj Mahals and we are referring to any one of them as a popular tourist attraction, we would use "a" before Taj Mahal.
3. The Taj Mahal is the popular tourist attraction.
- This sentence suggests that there is only one popular tourist attraction, and it is the Taj Mahal. Therefore, we would use "the" before both Taj Mahal and popular tourist attraction.
4. None
- If the sentence is stating a general fact or making a general statement about Taj Mahal as a popular tourist attraction without specifying any particular Taj Mahal, no article is required.
Answer: A
The correct article to fill in the blanks is "a."

Explanation:

• In this sentence, "New Delhi" is a specific city, so it requires the definite article "the".


• "Capital" is a singular countable noun, so it requires an article before it.


• Since we are referring to a specific capital, we use the definite article "the".


• Therefore, the correct answer is "none/the".

To determine the correct articles to fill in the blanks, we need to consider the context and grammar rules. Let's analyze each blank:
Blank 1: They went for _________ walk
- Here, we need to use the indefinite article because we are referring to a general, non-specific walk.
- The correct option is "a."
Blank 2: around ____________ nearby park
- Here, we are referring to a specific park, so we need to use the definite article.
- The correct option is "the."
Therefore, the correct answer is "They went for a walk around the nearby park."

The correct answer is B: The/the.
- The first blank should be filled with The as it refers to a specific hotel where they held their wedding reception.
- The second blank should be filled with the as it refers to a specific hotel called "Grand Hotel."

Explanation:
To determine the correct articles to fill in the blanks, we need to consider the specific rules for using articles.
Rules for using articles:
1. "An" is used before words that start with a vowel sound.
2. "A" is used before words that start with a consonant sound.
3. "The" is used to refer to something specific or known.
4. "None" is used when no article is required.
Analysis of options:
A. The article "the" is used before both "India" and "USA". This is incorrect because "India" and "USA" are not specific or known in this context.
B. The option "none/none" is incorrect because articles are required in these blanks.
C. The article "an" is used before "India", which is incorrect because "India" does not start with a vowel sound. The article "the" is used before "USA", which is also incorrect for the same reason.
D. The option "none/the" is correct because no article is required before "India" and the article "the" is used before "USA".
Therefore, the correct answer is Option D: none/the.

To determine the correct article for the given sentence, we need to consider the rules of article usage.
- The definite article "the" is used when we are referring to a specific noun that is known to both the speaker and the listener.
- The indefinite article "a" is used when we are referring to a non-specific noun for the first time.
- The indefinite article "an" is used when we are referring to a non-specific noun that starts with a vowel sound.
Now let's analyze the sentence and identify the correct article:
"My father's favorite newspaper is _____ Times of India."
- The noun in question is "Times of India."
- The newspaper's name does not start with a vowel sound.
- We are not referring to a specific instance of the newspaper.
Based on the above analysis, we can conclude that the correct article for the sentence is "a."
Answer: a

To fill in the blanks correctly, we need to determine which articles are appropriate for the sentence.
Explanation:
The correct answer is C: an/the
Here's why:
- The word "expensive" starts with a vowel sound (/ɪ/), so we use the indefinite article "an" before it.
- The Andamans is a specific group of islands, so we use the definite article "the" before it.
Therefore, the correct sentence is:
He went on an expensive holiday to the Andamans.
