Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Select suitable articles to fill in the blanks:

Which newspaper shall I buy: _____ Independent or ______ Herald?

A
no article ; no article

B
the ; a

C
a ; the

D
the ; the

Solution

The definite article 'the' is used before specific / particular nouns and unique nouns. Here, the newspapers are specific ones which are unique. Therefore, the correct option is: the ; the.
Question 2
1 / -0

Complete the sentence with suitable articles:
Suzy got ____ part-time job in ____ Italian restaurant.

A
An, A

B
An, An

C
A, An

D
An, The

Solution

Articles are part of speech, used to indicate nouns and to specify their application. Definite articles (the) limit the meaning of a noun to one particular thing. Indefinite articles (a, an) indicate that a noun refers to a general idea and not a 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 and the reader knows about.
In the given sentence, the use of indefinite articles is required as given in, Option C. Thus, the other options are incorrect.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill suitable option:
I want to cut this piece of material. I need _______ pair of scissors.

A
some

B
a

C
any

D
many

Solution

The right option is B) a. This correctly forms the phrase 'a pair of scissors.' With 'some' and 'many' we would need a plural noun but here, 'pair' is a singular noun. 'Any pair' would indicate that any one of the available pairs would be acceptable. Since the sentence does not imply this as its meaning, we may rule out option C) any as well.
Question 4
1 / -0

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

Inside ____ station cafe it was warm and light.

A
The

B
A

C
An

D
This

Solution

Articles are part of speech, used to indicate nouns and to specify their application. Definite articles (the) limit the meaning of a noun to one particular thing. Indefinite articles (a, an) indicate that a noun refers to a general idea and not a particular thing.
The given sentence talks about a particular café, so a definite article must be used before it.
Option B and C are not definite articles.
Option D will be incorrect, because 'this' is only used for singular nouns that are close.
Thus, the correct answer will be Option A.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable article:

You should go to ______ Science Museum. It's very interesting.

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

Although before most proper nouns like names of people, continents, countries, cities, mountains, etc use of the article should be omitted. However, before some proper names, such as name of a famous building, museum, work of art, monument etc the definite article 'the' should be used. Therefore, option C is the correct answer and Option D is incorrect. Since it's a specific building and not just any museum in general, the indefinite article 'an' or 'a' cannot be used. Therefore, Option A and B are incorrect.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable article:

If you're looking for a good pub, I would recommend _______ Ship Inn.
(Ship Inn is not very famous and your friend does not know about it.)

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

In most cases, when a noun is a proper noun, an article is not placed before it. 'Ship Inn' is a proper noun and does not need an article hence option D is correct. 'A' and 'an' are indefinite articles which we use when the noun is non-specific since the noun here is specific as it's a proper noun, an indefinite article cannot be used. Options A and B are thus incorrect. We use 'the' when a proper noun is famous and there is only one in existence. For example, "We were spellbound by the beauty of the Taj Mahal when we visited it." Since 'Ship Inn' is not very famous and the listener does not know about it, we don't use 'the'. Hence option C is incorrect.
Question 7
1 / -0

Select a suitable article to fill in the blank:

This book is published by ______ Penguin Publisher. (Name of the Publisher)

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
No article

Solution

In the given sentence, the name of a publisher is given. The 'name' of any such noun requires no article to be used.
'A' and 'an' is used with singular and common nouns.
'The' is not used with a proper noun unless the noun contains a prepositional phrase.
Therefore, the correct option will be Option D, no article.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable article:

'Which cinema are you going to this evening?'
'_____ Classic Cinema.' (A specific place)

A
A

B
An

C
The

D
No article

Solution

When we speak about a specific place, a specific cinema in this case, the definite article 'the' is used. The noun 'Classic Cinema' is a proper noun, but it is a specific cinema, hence we use 'the' hence option C is correct. 'A' and 'an' are indefinite articles which we use before nouns that are non-specific, the noun here is not any cinema, but a specific one with its name mentioned. Hence options A and B are incorrect. Most proper nouns don't require an article, except for some which are specific, since the 'Classic Cinema' is a specific cinema, option D is incorrect.
Question 9
1 / -0

Select a suitable article:

I'd like to go to _______ China and see _______ Great Wall.

A
the ; the

B
the ; no article

C
no article ; the

D
no article ; no article

Solution

Even though both of these nouns: China and the Great Wall are proper nouns, the rules apply differently here. China is a country and we don't use an article before most countries (China being one of them). When the proper noun is unique and there is only one in existence, like The Great Wall, the article 'the' is used. Option C has the correct answers hence it's the correct option. Options A and B are incorrect because we don't use 'the' before most countries. Option D is incorrect because the noun 'Great Wall' being a specific and unique place, requires the article 'the'.
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill with a suitable article:

If you're looking for a good clothes shop, I would recommend ______ Harrison's.

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

No article is used before most proper nouns. 'Harrison's' is a proper noun. Therefore, the correct option is: no article.
