Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the appropriate article:

He can play ___ guitar very well.

A
the

B
a

C
an

D
those

Solution

In most cases, 'the' is used before a musical instrument, like the guitar, hence option A is correct. Options B and C are indefinite articles used for non specific nouns, excluding musical instruments. Hence these options are incorrect. Option D is a demonstrative pronoun that modifies plural nouns, the noun here is singular, hence this option is incorrect.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
A Mercedes is __________ German car.

A
A

B
An

C
The

D
No article

Solution

An indefinite article is used when we are talking generally about something whereas a definite article is used when we are talking about something specific.
The indefinite articles are 'a' and 'an'. An is used before a word starting with a vowel or vowel sound.
A definite article is an article that tells the uniqueness of something.
'The' is the only definite article.
The blank shall take 'a' as 'German car' is a noun complement.
A Mercedes is a German car.
The correct answer is option A) A.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with the most suitable articles:
____ ice floats on ___ water.

A
The, the

B
An, a

C
The, an

D
No article, no article

Solution

The use of an article is omitted before names of substances (uncountable noun). Both the words, 'ice' and 'water' are substances which are uncountable nouns. Hence, no article is to be used before both the words. Option D is the correct answer
Options A, B and C are all incorrect as each of them indicates use of one article or the other for the uncountable nouns
Question 4
1 / -0

Choose the option that best corrects the sentence:

I had a lavish lunch yesterday. [Advanced]

A
I had the lavish lunch yesterday.

B
I had an lavish lunch yesterday.

C
I had lavish lunch yesterday.

D
NO CHANGE

Solution

Articles are not used before meals except when they take an adjective before them. Here, the article 'a' is used before lavish because it describes the noun lunch in a general sense and 'lavish' begins with a 'consonant sound'. Therefore, the correct option is: I had a lavish lunch yesterday.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in blanks with the most suitable articles:
________ Amazon is _______ longest river in the world. [Basic]

A
The, the

B
No article, the

C
No article, no article

D
The, no article
Solution
1. 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.
2. '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 correct as 'the' in both the blanks means a specific river which is the longest. Moreover we use 'the' with the superlative form of an adjective. Option D is incorrect as the second blank requires an article in order to add specific nature to the noun 'river' along with the adjective 'longest'. Option C is incorrect as the blanks require articles in order to give meaning to the sentence. From it we can't infer directly about the unique nature of the river and it sounds illogical. Option B is incorrect as the first blank requires an article in order to add specific nature to the noun 'Amazon'.

1. 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.
2. '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 B is correct as 'The' would indicate a specific refrigerator which the reader knows of.

Option A is incorrect as 'A' is used for words with a consonant sound. But, A refrigerator implies any random refrigerator.
