The mariner sailed across an Atlantic Ocean.

A
the

B
a

C
no change

D
no article required

Solution

Option B - 'A' can't be used for definite nouns. Thus option B is incorrect.
Option C - 'An' can't be used for definite nouns. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option D - We don't use articles before proper nouns, however, the given sentence has 'Atlantic' as an adjective that describes the common noun 'ocean'. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option A - 'The' can be used here the name of the ocean is specified. Thus option A is the correct answer.
'The mariner sailed across the Atlantic Ocean.'
Question 2
1 / -0

Choose the correct articles to fill in the blanks:
Sania plays ________ badminton while her friend Neha plays ________ tennis.

A
no article required, no article required

B
a, a

C
the, the

D
the, a

Solution

We never use articles before the proper nouns until the proper nouns are used as adjectives.
For example:
1. The Cricket match was great today.
2. Cricket is my favourite sport.
In the first example, 'cricket' is used as an adjective to describe 'match'. Hence we can use 'the' there. However, in the second example, no article is used as 'cricket' is used as a proper noun.
In the same way, in the given sentence, both 'badminton' and 'tennis' are used as proper nouns and hence we can't use any articles before them.
Thus option A is the correct answer.
Options B, C and D are incorrect.
Question 3
1 / -0

Replace the underlined article in the given sentence, wherever required, by choosing from the options given:
The honest person is respected everywhere.

A
An

B
A

C
No change

D
No article required

Solution

Option B - 'A' is used before words that start with a consonant sound. 'Honest' has a silent 'h' and it is pronounced as 'onest'. Thus option B is incorrect.
Option C - 'The' is used with definite nouns. The given sentence explains about people in general by giving a general example. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option D - We don't use articles when the sentence usually has a proper noun. 'Honest person' is not a proper noun, thus option D is incorrect.
Option A - 'An' is used before the singular nouns that have a vowel sound, and it can be used here to explain the general sentence. Thus option A is the correct answer.
An honest person is respected everywhere,'
Question 4
1 / -0

Replace the underlined article in the given sentence, wherever required, by choosing from the options given:
My neighbour has gone to a U.A.E.

A
the

B
an

C
no change

D
no article required

Solution

'The' is used before the plural forms of names of the countries/states. For example, 'The Netherlands, The United States of America.' The U.A.E is a combination of states and hence we use 'The' before 'U.A.E.'
Thus option A is the correct answer.
Options B, C and D are incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Choose the correct articles to fill in the blanks:
________ U.S.A. is larger than _______ India in area.

A
The, the

B
The, no article required

C
No article required, no article required

D
An, a

Solution

'The' is used before the plural forms of names of the countries/states. For example, 'The Netherlands, The United Arab Emirates.' 'USA' is an abbreviation of United States of America. It is a made up of 50 states and hence we use 'The' before 'U.S.A.'
'India' is a proper noun which is in the singular form. We use no articles before the proper nouns, hence we will not use any article before 'India'.
Thus option B is the correct answer.
Options A, C and D are incorrect.
Question 6
1 / -0

Choose the correct articles to fill in the blanks:
________ Lakshdweep Islands are situated in ______ Arabian sea.

A
A, an

B
No article required, no article required

C
The, an

D
The, the

Solution

We never use articles before proper nouns. Here, the article has to be placed before 'Islands'. 'Lakshadweep' is an adjective here, that describes the noun 'islands'. As the particular name of the 'Islands' is given, we will use 'the' here.
In the same way, 'Arabian' is an adjective to the noun 'sea' here. As the name of the sea is specified here, thus we will use 'the Arabian sea.'
Thus option D is the correct answer.
Options A, B and C are incorrect.
Question 7
1 / -0

Replace the underlined article in the given sentence, wherever required, by choosing from the options given:
The apple fell down when Newton was sitting under the tree.

A
A

B
An

C
No change

D
No article required

Solution

Option A - 'A' is used before the words that have consonant sounds. 'Apple' has a vowel sound and hence we can't use 'a'. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option C - 'The' can't be used here as 'the' is used for definite nouns. 'Apple' in the sentence is not definite, it is a general sentence and hence we can't use 'the' here. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option D - We need an article as the noun in the sentence is not a proper noun. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option B - 'An' is used before a singular noun that has a vowel sound. Thus option B is the correct answer.
'An apple fell down when Newton was sitting under the tree,'
Question 8
1 / -0

Choose the correct articles to fill in the blanks:
It was ________ honour for Rohan to be ______ invited guest on the Golden Jubilee Function of the school.

A
the, the

B
an, the

C
an, an

D
an, a

Solution

As 'honour' is not specific, we can't use 'the.' (Because 'the' is definite article)
'H' in 'honour' is silent and we pronounce the word as - 'Oner'. Hence, we will use 'an' before the vowel sound.
'Invited' is an adjective which describes 'guest'. As the article has to be used before 'invited guest' and it is a singular noun, hence we will use 'an.' ('invited' has a vowel sound, so 'an' is used)
Thus option C is the correct answer.
Options A, B and D are incorrect.
Question 9
1 / -0

Replace the underlined articles in the given sentences, wherever required, by choosing from the options given:
Man is the social animal.

A
a

B
an

C
no change

D
no article required

Solution

As the given sentence is a general sentence, we must use an article that maintains the meaning of the general sentence.
Option B - 'An' can't be used as 'social' has a consonant sound. Thus option B is incorrect.
Option C - 'The' can't be used here as 'the' is used for a definite noun, whereas the sentence is just about a general noun. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option D - We don't use an article when there is a proper noun in the sentence. As 'social animal' is not a proper noun, we must use an article. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option A - 'A' is used to describe a general noun and a singular noun. Thus option A is the correct answer.
'Man is a social animal.'
Question 10
1 / -0

Choose the correct articles to fill in the blanks:
Ranu's uncle is ________ S.D.O. and her aunt is ______ M.L.A.

A
a, a

B
an, an

C
a, an

D
an, a

Solution

Note: Always consider the sound of the letters and not the letters. The sound of the letters should be 'a, e, i, o, u' to use 'an'.
'S.O.D', when said, begins with a vowel sound - 'Es--o-dee'. The letter 'S' has a vowel sound and hence we will use 'an' before 'S.O.D.'
In the same way, 'M.L.A' begins with a vowel sound too. It is pronounced as 'Em-El-Ae'. Hence, we will use 'an' for the vowel sound of the letter 'M'.
Thus option B is the correct answer.
Options A, C and D are incorrect.
