  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Choose the word or phrase that best completes the sentence.
    Dessert is any sweet food eaten at _______end of a meal.
    Solution
    'An/A' is used as an indefinite article for a thing or 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.
    'The' is used as a definite article for a thing or person when the reader knows which one we are exactly referring to. It states the specific nature of the subject.
    Option C is correct as it specifically tells us about the time when a dessert is taken i. e. at the end of a meal.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Complete the sentence with the best option from those given below.

    According to Allied Cinemas, it will cost you more to see ____ film this summer.
    Solution
    'An/A' is used as an indefinite article for a thing or person when the reader doesn't know which one we are referring to out of many nouns. 
    'The' is used as a definite article for a thing or person when the reader knows which one we are exactly referring to. It states the specific nature of the subject.
    We use 'A' with a singular countable noun starting with a consonant. For the above sentence, thus option B is correct. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Choose the word that best completes the given sentence.

    Dessert is any sweet food eaten at_____end of a meal. 
    Solution
    'An/A' is used as an indefinite article for a thing or 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.
    'The' is used as a definite article for a thing or person when the reader knows which one we are exactly referring to. It states the specific nature of the subject.
    Option C is correct as it speaks of the particular point of conclusion of a meal.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
     Choose the most appropriate article for the given sentence:

    A demonstration is ______ act of showing by giving proof or evidence.
    Solution
    Here, the sentence talks about the definition or explanation for the word 'demonstration'. When talking in a general sense about 'one' thing or 'one of the many' things, we use the indefinite articles 'a' or 'an'.
    The word following the blank begins with a vowel and so we need to use 'an' and not 'a'. So, the correct answer is option B) an.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Complete the sentence with the best option from those given below.

    In my grandmother's dining room, there was ____ glass-fronted cabinet .
    Solution
    'An/A' is used as an indefinite article for a thing or 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.
    'The' is used as a definite article for a thing or person when the reader knows which one we are exactly referring to. It states the specific nature of the subject.
    "This'' is a pronoun and an adjective depending on the usage.

    Hence Option A is correct as it perfectly suits the meaning of the sentence by letting us know about a single random glass-fronted cabinet. We use A with a singular countable noun.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Complete the sentence with the best possible option from those given below.
    A person should not use _____ phone while he or she is driving. [Intermediate]
    Solution
    'An/A' is used as an indefinite article for a thing or 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.
    'The' is used as a definite article for a thing or person when the reader knows which one we are exactly referring to. It states the specific nature of the subject.
    We use A with a singular countable noun having a consonant at the beginning of the word.  Hence option A is correct.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Complete the sentence with the best possible option from those given below.
     
    Latin is considered _____ dead language. [Intermediate]
    Solution
    Here, the sentence is talking about Latin being dead as a language. This is being said in a general sense and so we need to use an indefinite article. Since 'dead' begins with a consonant, we cannot use 'an''. We can thus  eliminate option A) the. Option B) one is incorrect as we cannot use one in place of the article even if it means 'one' in the numerical sense. Option C) is  isn't correct either. The apt answer here is option D) a.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    From the options given below, select the most appropriate answer to fill in the blank in the given sentence.
    Life is a tale told by _________ idiot.
    Solution
    The sentence doesn't talk about a particular person, so the article 'the ' can not come here. The article 'An' will be used here because it is followed by  a word which starts with a vowel.
    Option B)An is the correct option.
    'Life is a tale told by an idiot.'
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best corrects the sentence:

    When will the dinner be ready?
    Solution
    Articles are not used before names of meals. Therefore, the correct option is: When will dinner be ready?
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct or no article:

    The Secretary and _____ Treasurer are absent.
    (Mr. Ray is the secretary and his wife is the treasurer)
    Solution
    The information in the adjoining bracket states that the positions of 'Secretary' and 'Treasurer' are held by two people, hence we need to add an article before each noun to modify it. Option D is incorrect. Option A is incorrect because the position is unique, there can only be one in that setting and by using 'a' we change the meaning to 'one of many'. Option B is incorrect because the noun is a unique position and is specific, hence an indefinite article is not used. Option C is correct because the noun 'Treasurer' is a unique position, hence it is specific, for specific nouns, we use the definite article 'the'.
