    Fill the blank [16] in the given passage with the most appropriate option:
    Solution
    There are three articles. 'A' and 'an' are indefinite articles, 'the' is definite article.
    'A' is used before words having consonant sound as the first heard sound when pronounced. 
    'An' is used before words having vowel sound as the first heard sound when pronounced.
    No article is used before plural countable nouns and before proper nouns.
    'The' is used before definite and specific things, ordinal numbers, superlatives etc.

    The blank here is preceded by the word 'aerial view'. 'Aerial' is an adjective which is telling more about the view. It is used in its general sense and nothing specific has been mentioned. 'Aerial' gives vowel sound as the first heard sound when pronounced. Therefore, Option B - 'an' is the suitable option to fill in the blank.
    Option A - 'a' is not suitable as the word 'aerial' conveys vowel sound and not consonant sound as the first heard sound when pronounced.
    Option C - 'the' is not suitable as 'aerial' is just description about the view and nothing specific or special or unique is mentioned here.
    The completed sentence, thus, becomes : We could see an aerial view of the whole town.

    Fill the blank [14] in the given passage with the most appropriate option.
    Solution
    1. 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.
    2. '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 'The' indicates something specific in the context of the passage. 'The top' means the highest point or uppermost point of something.  It shows the unique nature of the subject. Option A is incorrect as 'A top' doesn't make any sense. Option B is incorrect because 'An' is used with a word having a vowel sound. Option D is incorrect as an article is required to carry out the meaning of the sentence.

  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blanks with the most suitable articles.
    It's ____________ nice morning. Let's go for ___________ walk.
    Solution
    There are three articles. 'A' and 'an' are indefinite articles.
    'A' is used before words having consonant sound as the first heard sound when pronounced. 
    'An' is used before words having vowel sound as the first heard sound when pronounced.
    No article is used before plural countable nouns and before proper nouns.

    in the given sentence, 'nice morning' and 'walk' both convey consonant sound when pronounced and both are unspecific.
    Therefore, 'a' is the suitable article to fill in both the blanks. The appropriate option is Option A - a, a. The other options are incorrect as they do not indicate 'a' as the article to complete both blanks.
    The completed sentence thus becomes - It's a nice morning. Let's go for a walk.

    Fill the blank [17] in the given passage with the most appropriate option.
    Solution
    There are three articles. 'A' and 'an' are indefinite articles, 'the' is definite article.
    'A' is used before words having consonant sound as the first heard sound when pronounced. 
    'An' is used before words having vowel sound as the first heard sound when pronounced.
    No article is used before plural countable nouns and before proper nouns.
    'The' is used before definite and specific things, ordinal numbers, superlatives etc.

    The blank here is preceded by the word 'beautiful temple'. 'beautiful' is an adjective which is telling more about the 'temple'. It is used in its general sense and nothing specific has been mentioned. 'Beautiful' gives consonant sound as the first heard sound when pronounced. Therefore, Option A - 'a' is the suitable option to fill in the blank.
    Option B - 'an' is not suitable as the word 'beautiful' conveys consonant sound and not vowel sound as the first heard sound when pronounced.
    Option C - 'the' is not suitable as 'aerial' is just description about the view and nothing specific or special or unique is mentioned here.
    The completed sentence, thus, becomes : We also saw a beautiful temple of Lord Shiva there.

  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable article.
    Moni got _________ last position in his class.
    Solution
    We use the definite article in front of a noun when we believe the listener/reader knows exactly what we are referring to: because there is only one, that is, only one last position. This is why we use the definite article with a superlative adjective, like last. Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence, incorrect.
