Question 1
1 / -0

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

Everything was fine for about ____ month, then one day, the car just stopped.

A
An

B
The

C
A

D
One

Solution

Articles 'a' and 'the' are generally used before time markers.
Indefinite articles like 'a' and 'an' indicates that the noun is not a particular one.
'The' is used when a particular item is being talked about.
Like in the given sentence, the month or day is not specified or particularly mentioned. Therefore, Option C will be the correct answer.
Question 2
1 / -0

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

There is also ____ advantage to getting an early start in the world of credit.

A
An

B
A

C
The

D
That

Solution

The given sentence refers to a particular advantage. Articles are used to limit the nouns to one particular thing.
'A' is used in front of words that start with a consonant sound.
'An' is used in front of words that start with a vowel sound.
'The' is used to refer to something which has already been mentioned.
'That' is used in a sentence to refer to something that is not in close proximity.
Thus, in the given sentence the correct answer is Option A, 'an'.
Question 3
1 / -0

Use a suitable article:

_____ young have the future in their hands. [Intermediate]

A
A

B
An

C
The

D
No article

Solution

'Definite article' 'The' is used before an adjective that represents the entire class of its type. Here, 'young' refers to all young people and not just one person. It represents a definite set of people (group). Therefore, definite article (the) should be used before the word 'young' in the given sentence. Hence the correct answer is option 'C'.
Question 4
1 / -0

Use a suitable article:

When was ____ telephone invented? [Basic]

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

Sometimes we generalize nouns by using 'the' with a singular countable noun, like with the names of scientific inventions like the 'telephone'. Hence the option C is correct. The articles 'a' and 'an' are used for nouns which are not specific, over here we're not talking about any telephone, but the very first telephone which was invented, hence these options are incorrect. Since 'telephone' is a countable noun and a specific one, the option D is also incorrect because we are referring to a specific telephone i.e. the first one.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with suitable articles:
____ Statue of Liberty is at the entrance to ____ New York harbour. [Intermediate]

A
The; the

B
A; A

C
No article; no article

D
The; no article

Solution

The correct answer is Option D.
Definite article THE is used when we refer to something in particular.
Indefinite article A is used to refer to something in general and when the word begins in a consonant.
Indefinite article AN is used when the word begins in a vowel.
In the given sentence, Statue of Liberty is a particular monument. Thus THE will be used before it.
NEW YORK HARBOUR is a general place but since it is a proper noun, no article will be used before it.
Thus Option D- THE, NO ARTICLE is the correct answer.
Question 6
1 / -0

Use a suitable article:

Can you play _______ musical instrument?

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

'A' is used before a singular noun used in a general sense. 'Musical instrument' is a singular noun and is used in a general sense here. Hence, the correct option is: a.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with an appropriate article:

The sun is ____ star. [Basic]

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

The 'star' refers to all the existing stars. The Sun is one of these stars. The articles 'a' and 'an also mean 'one'. 'An' is used when the noun begins with a vowel, and the star begins with a consonant, hence the correct option is 'a' and 'an' is the incorrect option. 'The' is an incorrect answer because the sun isn't the only star. The option D is incorrect because an article is required in the given statement as we are not referring to the star in a general sense.
Question 8
1 / -0

Use an appropriate article:

Jill plays violin in an orchestra.

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

The given sentence requires an article before the musical instrument, violin. Both definite and indefinite articles can be used with musical instruments.
'A' or 'an' is used to express musical instruments as one of the physical object. For example - I don't have a violin.
However, to express 'violin' as a category of instruments, a definite article must be used.
No article is used when we refer to general ideas, plurals or uncountable nouns.
Thus, the correct answer is Option C.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable article:

Which is ______ highest mountain in the world? [Basic]

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

'The' is used before superlative degrees of adjectives. 'Highest' is a superlative degree. Therefore, the correct option is: the.
Question 10
1 / -0

Use a suitable article to fill in the blank:

Martin comes from _____ large family. [Basic]

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

The indefinite article 'a' is placed before nouns used in a general sense and not a specific sense. Here, 'large family' is used in general sense. Therefore, the correct option is 'a'.
