Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Fill using a suitable article:

Can you pass _____ salt, please?

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

The indefinite articles 'a' and 'an' are not used for nouns that are uncountable or cannot be counted. The noun here, 'salt' is an uncountable noun, so the options A and B are incorrect. The noun mentioned here is known by both the speaker as well as the listener, hence the article 'the' is used and is the correct answer. Option D is incorrect since the noun requires an article and it would be grammatically incorrect if not used.
Question 2
1 / -0

Use appropriate articles to complete the sentence:

I don't usually have _____ lunch but I always eat _____ good breakfast.

A
a ; a

B
the ; the

C
no article ; the

D
no article ; a

Solution

No article is used before the names of meals. However, if meals are identified with adjectives, they can be used with articles. Here, 'good' is the positive degree of the adjective and is used to describe the meal. Therefore, the correct option is: no article ; a.
Question 3
1 / -0

Select a suitable option to fill in the blank:

I don't drink _____ tea.

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

As a rule, we do not use articles or omit them with uncountable nouns like tea or coffee. Hence option D is the correct answer.
Options A, B and C are incorrect because this sentence does not require an article.
Question 4
1 / -0

Use appropriate articles:

We had ______ very nice meal. _____ vegetables were especially good.

A
a ; a

B
a ; the

C
the ; a

D
the ; the

Solution

The indefinite article 'a' is used before unspecific singular nouns used in a general sense and the definite article 'the' is used before specific things. Here, 'meal' is mentioned in a general sense but 'vegetables' are mentioned specifically as those that were part of the meal. Therefore, the correct option is, therefore, B.
Question 5
1 / -0

Use appropriate articles to complete the sentence:

It was _____ very hot day. In fact, it was _____ hottest day of the year.

A
a ; the

B
a ; a

C
the ; the

D
a ; an

Solution

'A' is used before singular nouns which refer to unspecific things. 'The' is used before superlatives. Here, we are referring to an unspecific 'hot day', so 'a' will be used before it. However, since 'hottest' is a superlative degree, we need to use 'the' before it. Therefore, the correct option is: a ; the.

______ apples are good for you.

A
A

B
An
