Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with suitable articles:
Alexander Pope said that _______ honest man is ________ noblest work of God.

A
the, the

B
an, a

C
an, an

D
an, the

Solution

The given sentence spoken by Alexander Pope is a general statement.
Option A - 'The honest man is the noblest work of God'. 'The' is used for someone specific or definite. As 'honest man' is a general title indicating a group of honest men, we can't use 'the' here. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option B - 'An honest man is a noblest work of God.' We always use 'the' before the superlative degree of the adjective. Thus option B is incorrect.
Option C - 'An honest man is an noblest work of God.' We always use 'the' before the superlative degree of the adjective. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'An honest man is the noblest work of God.' This is correct as 'an honest man' describes the general group of honest men, and 'the' is used before the superlative adjective. Thus option D is the correct answer.
Question 2
1 / -0

How many kinds of articles are there in English?

A
One a

B
Five

C
six

D
Two- Definite and Indefinite

Solution

An/A' is used as an indefinite article for a thing/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. They're used with singular countable noun.

'The' is used as a definite article for a thing/person when the reader knows which one we are exactly referring to. It states the specific nature of the subject.

1 / -0

Replace the underlined article in the given sentence, wherever required, by choosing from the options given:
A heart patient must not eat the butter.

A
a

B
an

C
no article required

D
no change

Solution

Option A - 'A' can't be used for uncountable nouns. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option B - 'An' can't be used for nouns that have consonant sound. Thus option B is incorrect.
Option D - 'The' is used for definite nouns. As we do not know which kind of butter the patient must not eat, we can't use 'the' here. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option C - As 'butter' is a general noun, which is uncountable, we do not need an article to describe it. Thus option C is the correct answer.
'A heart patient must not eat butter.'
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with the most suitable articles:

A
No article, a

B

Solution

'Atul can't concentrate on the book as he has a headache.'
The sentence talks about a particular book which was being read by Atul, so, the definite article 'the' shall be used in the first blank. 'A' is used in the second blank because the word following the blank starts with a consonant.
The correct option is option B) The,a.

Option A is correct as 'An' is used with a word having a vowel sound for a single countable noun which is random in nature. An apple therefore means any apple. Option C is incorrect as 'The' is used with words which have been mentioned previously. The apple implies the readers are aware of it which is wrong in the context of the sentence.
