Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the appropriate article:

Excuse me, can I ask you _____ question? (any question)

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

The noun here is non specific and singular, the 'question' could be any question, not a particular one. Hence we use an indefinite article, particularly 'a', since the noun begins with a consonant. Hence the correct option is A. Option B is incorrect because, even though it's an indefinite article, the noun does not begin with a vowel. Option C is incorrect because the noun is not specific nor is it definite. Option D is incorrect because the noun is not an uncountable noun, nor is it a proper noun, and needs an article.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the appropriate article:

The heart pumps _______ blood through the body.

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

No article is used before uncountable nouns used in a general sense. 'blood' is an uncountable noun. Therefore, the correct option is 'no article'.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with an appropriate article:
I'm not ready yet. Can you wait ____ moment, please?

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

Here, 'moment' is unspecific. The sentence also indicates 'one' moment. Hence, we need to use an indefinite article. Since moment starts wth a consonant sound, the correct option is: a.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with an appropriate article:
I didn't call them. I wrote ____ letter instead.

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

The 'letter' having been mentioned for the first time and known only to the speaker, makes option C incorrect. Since the noun is not specific, it can be any letter, an indefinite article must be used. Option A being an indefinite article, which comes before a noun beginning with a consonant, is the correct answer here. Option B being an indefinite article for nouns beginning with a vowel is the incorrect option. An article is required in the statement since we are not referring to the letter here in the general sense, hence Option D is incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Use the appropriate article where necessary:
Do you take _____ sugar in your coffee?

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

No article is used before uncountable nouns used in a general sense. Here, the uncountable noun 'sugar' is given after the blank. Therefore, the correct option is: no article.
Question 6
1 / -0

Use the appropriate article where necessary:

Our lives would be very difficult without _____ electricity.

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

No article is used before uncountable nouns used in a general sense. Here, the uncountable noun 'electricity' is given after the blank. Therefore, the correct option is: no article.
Question 7
1 / -0

Use the appropriate article:

It's very warm today. Why are you wearing _____ coat?

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

We are not referring to a specific coat. Hence, we need to use an indefinite article. Since 'coat' begins with a consonant sound, the article 'a' is the answer.
Question 8
1 / -0

Use the appropriate article with the help of the hint in the bracket:

We can't delay much longer. We have to make ______ decision soon.
(Joe and Sam are having a conversation and Joe refers to the pending decision they discussed in the last meeting)

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

It's given that the noun 'decision' is specific and has been mentioned before. The definite article 'the' is used for specific nouns like 'decision' in the given sentence, hence option C is correct. Indefinite articles 'a' and 'an' are used to modify nouns that are non-specific and have not been mentioned before since the 'decision' is a specific noun, options A and B are incorrect. An article is not used before nouns when we refer to them in general, 'decision' being a specific noun makes the option D incorrect.
Question 9
1 / -0

Use the appropriate article where necessary:

Would you like _____ biscuit with your coffee?

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

Option A is the correct answer as 'a' is an indefinite article that can be used before a singular nonspecific noun that starts with a consonant, like a 'biscuit'.
Option B is incorrect because 'an' can only be used before nouns that start with a vowel sound.
Option C is incorrect because 'the' is a definite article that is used before a noun when we believe the hearer/reader knows exactly what we are referring to. Since we are referring to a biscuit in general and not any specific biscuit, this option is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because it is a rule that we use an article before countable nouns to make the sentence complete.
Question 10
1 / -0

Insert the appropriate article:

I thought there was somebody in the house because there was ____ light on inside.

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

'A' is used before a singular subject which starts with a consonant sound. Here, 'one' light is mentioned. Therefore, the correct option is: a.
