Test: Articles - Question 1

Fill in the blank with an appropriate article:

Of course ______ beaver was startled. It slapped its tail and disappeared into the pond.

Detailed Solution for Test: Articles - Question 1

In this statement, we are talking about a specific beaver and so we need to use the definite article 'the'.

Test: Articles - Question 2

Fill in the blank with an appropriate article:

He had heard there were many beavers in _____ park. 

Detailed Solution for Test: Articles - Question 2

It is stated that there are many beavers in the park. This suggests that the sentence is talking about a particular park. So, the definite article 'the' should be used.

Test: Articles - Question 3

Fill in the blank with an appropriate article.

Suddenly _____ child who had spoken before shouted his brother's name.

Detailed Solution for Test: Articles - Question 3

The usage of articles 'a', 'an' and 'the' can be seen here:
The indefinite 'a' and 'an' are used before countable noun e.g. a book, a month.
an is used before word starting with vowels(a,e,i,o & u) e.g. an elephant, an apple
option A) and B) both do not fit the answer.
Hence option C) is correct as we are talking about one particular child who is the same person calling his brother.

Test: Articles - Question 4

Fill in the blank with an appropriate article with the help of the hint in the bracket:

To our right, was _______ marshy pond. (You are referring to this pond for the first time).

Detailed Solution for Test: Articles - Question 4

'A' is an article which is used to refer to something indefinite. 'An' works on the same grounds, but only for nouns/pronouns beginning with a vowel. Something that has already been referred to, indicating that it is definite or specific, would have 'the' as the preceding article. Since the question clearly states that the pond is being referred to for the first time and the succeeding word does not begin with a vowel, 'an' and 'the' may be ruled out. Therefore, 'a' is the correct answer to this question.

Test: Articles - Question 5

Fill in the blank with an appropriate article:

_____ house on the right belongs to my uncle. 

Detailed Solution for Test: Articles - Question 5

Since the speaker is referring to a specific house, we need to use the definite article 'the'.

Test: Articles - Question 6

Choose the best option that fills in the blank:

You need _____ visa to visit _____ countries, but not all of them.

Detailed Solution for Test: Articles - Question 6

The article 'the' is used when the noun is specific and known to the speaker as well as the listener. The noun 'visa' is not specified as to which visa and it's been mentioned for the first time here, so 'the' isn't the correct article. An indefinite article, either 'a' or 'an' is required. 'An' is used for nouns beginning with a vowel, 'visa' begins with a consonant, hence the option 'a' is the correct article for 'visa'. Also, indefinite articles 'a' and 'an' are not used for plural nouns, hence 'a' is incorrect for the noun 'countries' and so is 'an'. 'Some' denotes an unspecified number of the noun, whether a count or a non-count noun. Here, the number of 'countries' is not specified and it is some of many countries that require a visa, not all, hence 'some' is the correct option. 'A' being the correct option for the first sentence and 'some' being the correct option for the second sentence, narrows down to option D which is the correct answer.

Test: Articles - Question 7

Fill in the blank with an appropriate article:

_____ Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world.

Detailed Solution for Test: Articles - Question 7

The word "the" is a definite article, which means it defines the meaning of a noun as a specific thing.  Mount Everest is Proper Noun and a specific thing.

Test: Articles - Question 8

Fill in the blank with an appropriate article with the help of the hint in the brackets:

He pointed to _____ tall tree and said, "Do you see that white speck? That's a bald eagle." (It can be any tree.)

Detailed Solution for Test: Articles - Question 8

'An/A' is used as an indefinite article for a thing or person when the reader doesn't know which one we are referring to out of many nouns. It states the random nature of the subject.
'The' is used as a definite article for a thing or person when the reader knows which one we are exactly referring to. It states the specific nature of the subject.
Option A is incorrect as An can't be used with a word beginning with consonant. Option C is incorrect  as 'The' is used as a definite article for a particular noun, not for any tree in this case. We use an indefinite article in front of a singular countable noun i.e. the tall tree. Hence Option B is correct.

Test: Articles - Question 9

Choose the option that best corrects the sentence:

Salt is often added to food to make it taste better.

Detailed Solution for Test: Articles - Question 9

Option A is correct because the statement is a general statement about a substance (salt) and the noun is also a non-countable hence it does not need an article. Options A and B are incorrect because the noun is a non-countable noun. Option D is incorrect because the 'salt' is being referred to in general, not in specific terms.

Test: Articles - Question 10

Fill in the blank with appropriate article:

____ architect is trained in design, drafting, and economics.

Detailed Solution for Test: Articles - Question 10

An/A' is used as an indefinite article for a thing or person when the reader doesn't know which one we are referring to out of many nouns. It states the random nature of the subject.
'The' is used as a definite article for a thing or person when the reader knows which one we are exactly referring to. It states the specific nature of the subject.
Option C is incorrect  as 'The' is used as a definite article for a particular noun, but this sentence talks about any architect not for a particular one.  Option B is incorrect as 'A 'can't be used with a word beginning with a vowel.  Option A is correct as it is grammatically  correct and suits the meaning of the sentence.
