Solution

In the given sentence, 'headache' is not a definite thing and so, the answer must also be indefinite. Also, 'headache' is a singular object and thus, the answer must be a word used for singular objects.
Option A is incorrect. 'a' is an indefinite article used with indefinite objects. Also, it can only be used with singular objects. Thus, it meets the required conditions and is the correct answer.
Option B is incorrect. 'the' is a definite article and cannot be used with indefinite objects. Thus, it is incorrect.
Option C is incorrect. 'some' can be used for indefinite objects but, it can only be used for plural objects and so, it is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect. 'an' is an indefinite article that can be used for indefinite and singular objects but, it can only be used if the word after it starts with a vowel. Since, headache does not start with a vowel, 'an' cannot be used.

Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
Because _______ sun was so strong, they decided to sleep during ________ day and travel by _______ night. [Intermediate]

A
the / the / _

B
the / _ / _

C
the / the / the

D
_ /_ / _

Solution

We use the definite article 'the' before nouns that are already known to the reader. The noun 'sun' is already known, hence we use 'the'.
Hence option D is incorrect.
Options A, B and C: We do not use articles in expressions like 'by day' or 'by night'. Also, we use the article 'the' while referring to a specific 'day' or 'night'.
In the given sentence, 'day' is specific as the sentence narrates a particular day, and 'by night' is an expression that does not use 'the'.
We see the correct combination of articles in option A, as explained above. Hence this is the right option.
Options B and C are wrong as they do not have the correct choice of answers.
