Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the correct option:
You must pay _____ visit to your brothers

A
the

B
an

C
a few

D
a
Solution
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 'a few' is used inappropriately as 'A few' is used with plural countable noun. Option A is incorrect as 'The' doesn't suit with the meaning of the sentence. It says about a particular visit but we don't know which one it is. Option B is incorrect as 'An' cannot be used with a word having a consonant at the beginning. Option D is correct as 'A' is used as an indefinite article for a word beginning with a consonant.
Question 2
1 / -0

Complete the given sentence with one of the options from those given below.

Is tomato ___ fruit or ____ vegetable ? [Basic]

A
A, The

B
The, The

C
A, A

D
A, An
Solution
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 D is incorrect as An can't be used with a word beginning with consonant. We use an indefinite article in front of a singular countable noun. Hence Options A and B are wrong. Option C shows the correct usage.
Question 3
1 / -0

Pick out the best option from those given below that complete the sentence correctly and meaningfully.

A person is more likely to die in ___ car accident than in _____ aircraft accident.

A
An, An

B
A, An

C
A, The

D
The, An

Solution

Here, the sentence is talking in the general sense and so we need to use the indefinite articles and not the the definite article 'the'.
We need to look at two common nouns here car and aircraft where 'car' begins with a consonant and 'aircraft' with a vowel. So, the article we should use for 'car' is 'a' and for 'aircraft' is 'an'. The correct option, thus, is option B) a, an.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
We are going out for ____ few days.

A
The

B
A

C
Some

D
Many
Solution
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 'The' doesn't fit into the sentence and it doesn't say specifically which few days. Option D 'Many' is incorrect as it doesn't suit with the structure of the sentence. Option C is grammatically incorrect as few and some are different in meaning. Few means not enough and gives a negative sense while some implies a positive sense. Option B is correct as We use 'a few' with plural countable noun. 'A few' is used to show a small measure of something.
Question 5
1 / -0

Complete the sentence with a suitable option:
His brother works for _______ government. [Basic]

A
That

B
An

C
The

D
A

Solution

Option C: 'The' is a definite article that modifies specific nouns.
The noun 'government' is a specific one since there's one 'government' that runs a country.
Hence 'the' is the most suitable option and C is correct.

Option A: 'That' is a demonstrative that points out at something near or close while mentioning. It is irrelevant here.
Hence option A is incorrect.
Options B and D: 'A' and 'an' are indefinite articles. They modify nouns that are non specific. That is, when the reader does not know the identity of the noun. But here, we know that there's one government for our country. If it's another country, it would be specified which one.
Hence options B and D are wrong.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the correct option:
I have been waiting for you for _____ hour

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
a few
Solution
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' doesn't suit with the meaning of the sentence as it doesn't tell about the amount of time. In Option D 'a few' is used inappropriately as a few is used with plural countable noun. Option A is incorrect as 'A'. In this sentence although 'Hour' begins with a consonant, it has a silent 'H'. Hence it has a vowel sound 'our' and requires 'the indefinite article 'An' . Hence Option B is grammatically correct.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
I have to write _____ long essay.

A
A

B
The

C
Some

D
Many
Solution
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 B is incorrect as 'The' doesn't suit with the meaning of the sentence as there's no mention of the essay previously. We use 'The' for a previously mentioned subject. Option C is incorrect as 'Some' states an indefinite amount of something and gives a wrong sense of the above mentioned sentence. Option D is incorrect as 'Many' is used with plural countable nouns. Hence Option A is correct .
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the correct option:
He is ____ honourable man

A
a

B
the

C
an

D
much

Solution

'A' and 'An' are indefinite articles and 'the' is the only definite article in the English language. 'The' is used with reference to something specific such as a specific person or place. This sentence does not talk about a specific honourable man, hence 'the' will not be used.
'A' cannot be used with honourable because it begins with a vowel sound. By rules of grammar, 'an' is used before a word that begin with vowels or vowel sounds. The word honorary begins with a vowel sound (o) because H is silent, similar to the pronunciation of 'hour.' Hence, Option A is incorrect and Option B 'an' is correct.
Option D is incorrect because 'much' does not complete the sentence meaningfully.
Question 9
1 / -0

Complete the sentence with the most appropriate option from those given below.

Maya is ___ analyst.

A
A

B
An

C
The

D
One

Solution

Option B is the correct answer because 'an' is an indefinite article that is used before a non-specific singular noun starting with a vowel sound. Since 'analyst' starts with a vowel and we don't have enough information to know if Maya is a specific analyst, this is the aptest answer to this question.
Option A is incorrect because 'a' can only be used before non-specific nouns that start with a consonant.
Option C is incorrect because this sentence requires an indefinite article as we do not know if Maya is a specific analyst and 'the' is a definite article.
Option D is incorrect because it would be grammatically incorrect if used in the sentence.
Question 10
1 / -0

Complete the given sentence with the best option from those given below.

Isn't your friend Sarah___ doctor?

A
The

B
An

C
One

D
A
Solution
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 'The' is inappropriate since it is used as a definite article for something previously mentioned. Such that we are sure about the subject's details. Option C is incorrect as 'One' sounds grammatically weak for the above sentence and it signifies a number. Option B is incorrect as 'An' cannot be used with a word having a consonant at the beginning and having a consonant sound. We use a with a singular noun to say something about all things of that kind. Hence Option D is correct.
