D

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 because both the blanks don't require articles to provide meaning to the sentence. Option B is incorrect as 'A' is used for words with random nature. A love and war doesn't provide the correct sense. Option A is incorrect as 'The' refers to a particular subject & shows the uniqueness of the subjects of which the readers are aware of. The war doesn't fit here logically. It refers to a particular war. Option D is incorrect as 'The' refers to a particular subject & shows the uniqueness of the subjects of which the readers are aware of.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
A: Have you heard anything from Tom lately?
B: Yes, let me be the first to tell you ______ good news about him.

A
the

B
his

C
any

D
these

Solution

As we can see, the answer will modify the noun 'good news'. Only articles and adjectives can modify nouns and thus, the answer must be one of them. Further, we know that the noun 'good news' is something definite and the answer must support that fact.
Option A is correct. 'the' is a definite article. It can modify a noun and also supports the fact that the noun here is definite. Thus, it meets the required condition and is the correct answer.
Option B is incorrect. 'his' is a pronoun. It can replace a noun but not modify one. Thus, it cannot be the answer.
Option C is incorrect. 'any' is an adjective. But, 'any good news' does not support the fact that the noun is definite. Thus, if 'any' is used, the sentence will not make sense.
Option D is incorrect. 'these' is a demonstrative pronoun. It cannot modify a noun and so, it is incorrect.
Question 7
1 / -0

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 is used before a word starting with a consonant or consonant sound.

All the three blanks won't take any article as 'chemistry' is the name of a subject, 'university' is not specific and 'present refers to time which is uncountable.

Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
P: Is this ________ book you were telling me about?
Q: Yes. it is about _______ life of Queen Victoria.

A
a / the

B
the / the

C
a / a

D
no articles

Solution

The word 'a' is an indefinite article. It is used for nouns that are not specific/particular. For e.g. 'a man'.
The word 'the' is a definite article; it modifies a noun that is specific, a noun whose identity is made known. For e.g. 'the man in black'.
In the given conversation, the noun 'book' is a particular book that the subject Q was talking about. Hence, we use the article 'the'.
The noun 'life' is also specific, because it is the life of Queen Victoria. The identity of the noun 'life' is made known using the proper noun Queen Victoria. Hence, we use the article 'the' in the second blank too.
This combination 'the, the' is used only in option B, hence B is correct.
Options A and C: We can't use 'a' for the nouns 'book' and 'life' for the same reason: the nouns are specific.
Hence options A and C are incorrect.
Option D: An article is not required when the noun is non-count or it's spoken of in general sense. Since both nouns here are clearly identified, we require articles and option D is incorrect.
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
________ Finance Minister increased ________ tax on ________ petrol in his last budget.

A
no article / the / no article

B
The / the / the

C
no article / the / the

D
The / the / no article

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 is used before a word starting with a consonant or consonant sound.
A definite article is an article that tells the uniqueness of something.
'The' is the only definite article.
The first and the second blank shall take 'the' as the sentence talks about a particular country's Finance Minister and a tax levied on a particular commodity. The third blank won't take any article as 'petrol' is an uncountable noun.
The correct answer is D) The / the/ no article.
The Finance Minister increased the tax on petrol in his last budget.
