the

B

Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with an appropriate article with the help of the hint in the brackets:

He pointed to _____ tall tree and said, "Do you see that white speck? That's a bald eagle." (It can be any tree.)

A
an

B
a

C
the

D
No article
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 A is incorrect as An can't be used with a word beginning with consonant. Option C is incorrect as 'The' is used as a definite article for a particular noun, not for any tree in this case. We use an indefinite article in front of a singular countable noun i.e. the tall tree. Hence Option B is correct.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with an appropriate article.

______ seal is an excellent swimmer. [Advanced]

A
The

B
An

C
No article

D
Both 'The' and 'an'

Solution

While referring to a member of a particular class or group, we can use two kinds of statements. "Seals are excellent swimmers" or "The seal is an excellent swimmer." Since the given statement complies with the second type, it will use the definite article 'the'.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with an appropriate article.

There is a glossary at _____ back of the book.

A
a

B
the

C
an

D
no article

Solution

The article 'the' is used before a specific, definite noun. The sentence given clearly states that a specific book is spoken about ('the book'). Since a book has only one back, the article 'the' is the correct answer here. 'A' and 'an' being indefinite articles are incorrect answers here, since they're usually used for nouns that are not specific or in a general context. The 'back' of 'the book' being a specific countable noun, an article is required ahead of it, which means the option 'no article' is incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with an appropriate article:

I have studied about _____ history of America and Australia.

A
the

B
a

C
an

D
No article

Solution

In this statement, the writer says they have studied the 'history of America and Australia'. The noun here, 'history' is followed by the name of the countries. Hence the identity of the noun has been established by the following proper nouns, making 'the' the correct option to use before the specific noun 'history', and making Option A the correct answer. Option B cannot be used since the identity of the noun is already known to the writer as well as the reader. Option C is to be used before nouns that begin with a vowel, and since history begins with a consonant, it's an incorrect option. Option D is used when the noun is a proper noun, or an uncountable noun. In the given statement, history is a singular specific noun, making option D incorrect.

A
An

B
A

C
The

D
No article
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 C is incorrect as 'The' is used as a definite article for a particular noun, but this sentence talks about any architect not for a particular one. Option B is incorrect as 'A 'can't be used with a word beginning with a vowel. Option A is correct as it is grammatically correct and suits the meaning of the sentence.
