As the band's name is specified, we can understand that 'Anu' plays the band's guitar. Hence the guitar is a specific guitar. Thus we can use 'the' here.
'Drums' is also a specific noun here as it is a part of the band's instruments. Thus we will use 'the' here as well.

Fill in the blanks with the most suitable articles:
___ Damodar river was known as ___ "Sorrow of Bengal."

A
The, the

B
The, a

C
No article, no article

D
A, the

Solution

An article is 'a word that comes before a noun'. It describes the noun, whether it is general or a particular thing.
'A' and 'an' are indefinite articles that refer to general, non-specific nouns. 'The' is a definite article that refers to a specific noun.

Options A and C: Usually, proper nouns do not require an article. There are exceptions though, when the proper noun is a name of a unique person, or thing in the world, then the definite article 'the' is used.
In the sentence, 'Damodar river' is a unique proper noun, there is only one river called 'Damodar'. In the same way, the title 'Sorrow of Bengal' is a specific title for the river.
Hence in both cases, 'the' will be used. So, option A is correct.
For the same reason, option C is incorrect.

Options B and D: 'A' is not used for proper nouns, (brand names are exceptions). Hence options B and D are incorrect.
Question 7
1 / -0

Choose the correct articles to fill in the blanks:
Mother Teresa was ________ European but she devoted her life to social work as _______ Indian.

A
an, an

B
a, an

C
a, a

D
the, the

Solution

'European' starts with a vowel but while pronouncing, we say 'Yu-ro-pi-un.' Hence, it has a consonant sound and not a vowel sound. Thus we can say 'a European'.
'Indian' starts with a vowel and has a vowel sound as well. Hence, we can say 'an Indian.'
Thus option B is the correct answer.
Options A, C and D are incorrect.
Question 8
1 / -0

Choose the correct articles to fill in the blanks:
_________ French is _________ easy language to learn.

A
The, an

B
No article required, an

C
A, an

D
No article required, a

Solution

French is the name of a language. Therefore, no article shall be used in the first blank while in the second blank ,'an' is used because it is followed with the word 'easy'.
'French is an easy language to learn.'
Option B)No article required , an is the correct option.
Question 9
1 / -0

Choose the correct articles to fill in the blanks:
_________ Rome was not built in ________ day.

A
No article required, a

B
A, a

C
A, the

D
No article required, the

Solution

'Rome' is a proper noun and the name of a city. We never use articles before a proper noun. For example, 'India is a democratic country/ France is my favourite/ Mumbai is over-crowded.' Hence, we will place no article before 'Rome'.
'Day' is not specific here. We do not know which day the sentence is talking about. In general, the sentence means that the city wasn't constructed in one day. Thus we will use 'a' here to explain 'one' in general.
Thus option A is the correct answer.
Options B, C and D are incorrect.
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable articles:
Ravi goes to ______ school regularly.

A
The

B
A

C
An
