Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
Don't stay outside in _______ cold; come in by ______ fire.

A
the/the

B
the/a

C
no article/a

D
the/no article

E
a/the

Solution

The first blank refers to cold, and the second to fire. Since cold is specified to the one that's outside, definite article of "the" will be used in the first blank.

Thus, C and E cannot be the answers.

Fire is specified to the one that's inside, definite article of "the" will be used in the second blank.

Thus, B and D cannot be the answers.

A is the answer.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
On ______ bright January morning ______ telephone kept ringing in my office.

A
the/the

B
no article / no article

C
a/the

D
no article / the

E
the/-

Solution

The answer is C since the statement talks about a general bright morning of January, "a" will be used, and the telephone mentioned in the the statement is a particular telephone that was in the office, hence a definite article "the" will be used.

A cannot be the answer since "the" is a definite article and the statement isn't talking about a particular morning.

By the latter logic, B and E are eliminated from the choices since they are not using "the" in the second blank.

D cannot be the answer because an article needs to support bright January morning, as it is talking about a general morning of January.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
On ______ first day, they stopped at ______ river and decided to make ______ camp.

A
the/a/a

B
the/no article/a

C
the/an/a

D
no article/the/no article

E
the/an/an

Solution

A is the answer since "the" is a definite article and the first blank is talking about a definite day, which is the first day. The river and camp mentioned in the statement are indefinite ones and aren't talking about a particular river or camp, thus a definite article cannot be used. Both of them begin with consonants and not vowels, and thus "an" will not be used.

With the above logic, D cannot be the answer. Since the first blank needs a definite article.

C and E cannot be the answers because river doesn't start with a vowel, and thus "an" cannot be used.

B cannot be the answer because river needs an indefinite article before it.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
My _______ friend likes to listen to ______ good story. [Basic]

A
no article/the

B
a/a

C
the/the

D
no article/a

E
a/no article

Solution

Since the sentence starts with a possessive pronoun my, no article can be used to succeed it. Thus B, C and E cannot be the answers.

In the latter blank, the story that the sentence is talking about is only described with an adjective good, and thus a definite article cannot be used. A cannot be the answer.

With all these conditions intact, D is the answer.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
I'll never forget ______ first time I saw _______ real American Christmas tree.

A
a/the

B
an/no article

C
no article/a

D
the/a

E
the/no article

Solution

The first blank refers to time, the second to tree.

The time is specified to be the first, definite article of "the" will be used in the first blank.

Thus, A, B and C cannot be the answers.

The tree is preceded by an adjective of real, thus a countable noun "a" will be used in the second blank.

Thus, E cannot be the answer.

D is the answer.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
Peter is on _______ night duty. When I go to _______ bed, he goes to ______ work.

A
the/no article/a

B
no article/no article/no article

C
a/a/a

D
the/the/no article

E
no article/the/a

Solution

The first blank refers to duty, the second to bed and the third one to work. Since work is an uncountable noun, no article will be used in the third blank.

Thus, A, C and E cannot be the answers.

Go to bed is a phrase used for sleeping, and thus no article will be used in the second blank.

Thus, D cannot be the answer.

B is the answer.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
At ______ first they began to look for ______ dry place.

A
the/a

B
no article/a

C
a/the

D
an/a

E
the/no article

Solution

B is the answer since "first" is not succeeded by an event like day or month, and thus doesn't need an article to support it. The dry place mentioned in the statement is not a specific dry place that is being talked about, and thus will be accompanied by an indefinite article, which is "a".

Since first is not succeeded by an event like day or month, and thus doesn't need an article to support it, A, C, D, E cannot be the answers.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
There was ______ good restaurant near ______ cinema and Joan decided to have ______ dinner there.

A
the/a/no article

B
no article/the/no article

C
an/no article/the

D
a/a/the

E
a/the/no article

Solution

The first blank refers to restaurant, the second to cinema and third to dinner. Since diner is a meal, by rule, no article will be used in the third blank.

Thus, C and D cannot be the answers.

The cinema is specified to the one that's close to the restaurant, definite article of "the" will be used in the second blank.

Thus, A cannot be the answer.

The restaurant is preceded by an adjective, thus a countable noun "a" will be used in the first blank.

Thus, B cannot be the answer.

E is the answer.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I'll be there in half ____ hour.

A
no article

B
an

C
a

D
the

Solution

An indefinite article is used when we are talking generally about something whereas a definite article is used when we are talking about something specific.
The indefinite articles are 'a' and 'an'. An is used before a word starting with a vowel or vowel sound.
A definite article is an article that tells the uniqueness of something. The is the only definite article.
The blank shall take 'an' as half is followed by a whole number, and the word following the blank starts with a mute h.
I'll be there in half an hour.
The correct answer is option B) an.
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
The car was traveling at more than 90 miles _____ hour when the accident happened.

A
an

B
a

C
no article

D
the
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 A is correct because 'An' is used with a word 'Hour' having a vowel sound 'our' to indicate a single countable noun. Option D is incorrect as 'The hour' doesn't carry out the meaning of the sentence. Option B is incorrect as 'A' is used for word with a consonant sound. Option C is incorrect as the blank requires an article to carry out the meaning of the sentence.
