1 / -0

There is _____ owl on the branch of the tree. (You see the owl for the first time)

A
a

B
the

C
an

D

Solution

'A' and 'An' are indefinite articles and are used before singular countable nouns.

A
a

B

Solution

We use an indefinite article in front of a singular countable noun. Option C is incorrect as 'The' is used as a definite article for a particular noun, not for any petrol station in this case. Option B is incorrect as 'An' can't be used with a word beginning with a consonant. Option D doesn't carry forward the true sense of the sentence. Hence option A is correct.

A
The

B
An

C
A

Their
Solution
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.
'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.
The reader is familiar with both the characters,The Queen and The Pope and they are unique that is there's only one. Hence Options C is incorrect. In grammar 'An' can't be used with a word having a consonant sound. Thus Option B is incorrect. 'Option D is incorrect as 'Their' is a determiner which is the possessive form of 'They'. Hence option A is correct.

Solution

'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 D is correct as 'The' is used with countries whose names include words like states,kingdom,etc. Option A is incorrect as 'that' is used as an adjective here but doesn't provide a proper sense. Option B and C are incorrect as 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.
Question 5
1 / -0

Complete the sentence using one of the following words. Use a/an where necessary.
It wasn't your fault. It was _______ accident.

A
an

B
a

C
the

D
no article

Solution

When a noun is not specific, or it's undefined, we use an indefinite article 'a' or 'an'. The former is used when the noun begins with a consonant, whereas the latter is used when it begins with a vowel. 'Accident' is a non specific noun that begins with the vowel 'a' hence option A is correct and option B is incorrect. Option C is incorrect because it's a definite article which we use when the noun is specific. Option D is used when the noun is uncountable, since 'accident' is a countable noun, option D is incorrect.
Question 6
1 / -0

Identify which article best fills in the blank:

John has got ___ interview tomorrow. (It can be any interview)

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

The noun 'interview' is non-specific because it's mentioned for the first time and is not followed by a clause that would further specify it. Hence an indefinite article is used. 'An' is an indefinite article used for the non-specific noun 'interview' that begins with the vowel 'i' hence option B is correct. Option A is incorrect because it's used for non-specific nouns beginning with a consonant and 'interview' does not begin with a consonant. Option C is incorrect because it's used for nouns which are specific and 'interview' is not specific in the given context. An article is generally not used before a proper noun or when the noun is uncountable, since 'interview' is neither a proper noun nor an uncountable noun, option D is incorrect.
Question 7
1 / -0

Complete the following sentence with the best option from those given below.

Write an essay without mentioning about ___ Sun or ___ Moon.

A
A, A

B
The, The

C
The, A

D
A, The
Solution
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.
'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.
Options A,C, and D are incorrect as indefinite articles can't be used with subjects that are unique. Instead of indefinite articles We use the definite article ''The''. Hence Option B is correct.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate article:

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable article:

My brother works for _____ insurance company in London.
(You are having a conversation about your brother for the first time)

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

The article 'an' is used when the noun is known only to the speaker, it is an indefinite noun, and it begins with a vowel/vowel sound. Hence Option B is correct. 'A' is used for the same reasons as 'an', the only difference being that the noun starts with a consonant, hence option A is incorrect. Option C is used for a noun which has been mentioned before since it hasn't been mentioned before in the given statement, it's incorrect. Since an article is required for the reasons that are mentioned earlier and we are not referring to the insurance company generally, option D is also incorrect as we need an article in the given context.
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the best option from those given below.

Many people consider him greatest comic actor of silent cinema.

A
A

B
The

C
An

D
One
Solution
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.
'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 B is correct as 'The', the definite article is used with the superlative form of an adjective. Option A 'is incorrect as A greatest' doesn't give a proper sense in the context of the sentence. Only a specific person/thing can be greatest. Option C is grammatically incorrect as 'An' is used with a word having a vowel sound. Option D 'One greatest' again doesn't give a proper sense in the context of the sentence.
