  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    It's ___________ green apple.
    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 is used before a word starting with a consonant or consonant sound.
    A definite article is an article that tells the uniqueness of something.

  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    Tom has ____ flu.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, it is indicated that the subject has a specific disease(flu). Certain diseases like 'flu' need a definite article before them. Thus, here the object is definite and so the answer must also be a word that indicates this.
    Option A is incorrect. 'a' is an indefinite article and cannot be used for definite objects. Thus, it is incorrect.
    Option B is correct. 'the' is a definite article and is used to refer to specific objects. Thus, it can properly refer to 'flu' and is the correct answer.
    Option C is incorrect. 'some' is not only indefinite but can also be used only for plural objects or objects in multiple quantities. Thus, it cannot be used for 'flu'.
    Option D is incorrect. 'an' is an indefinite article and cannot be used to refer to definite objects. Also, the word after 'an' must start with a vowel and since that is not the case here, 'an' will make the sentence grammatically incorrect.
