Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with an appropriate article:
Those are _____ nice shoes. Where did you get them? [Intermediate]

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

No article is used before plural countable nouns used in a general sense. 'Shoes' is a plural countable noun and is used in a general sense in this sentence. Therefore, the correct option is: no article.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with the suitable articles:

Jane is _____ teacher. Her parents were _____ teachers too.

A
a ; a

B
a ; the

C
no article ; a

D
a ; no article

Solution

We use the indefinite article 'a' with singular count nouns when the hearer/reader does not know exactly what we are referring to and also to say what someone is or what job they do. Hence option D is the correct answer.
Option A is incorrect because the second blank does not require any articles. We do not use articles with common nouns used in the general sense; in the second sentence 'teachers' is used as a common noun in the general sense.
Option B is incorrect because the second blank does not require an article due to the abovementioned reason.
Option C is incorrect because the first blank requires an article to be used before a singular count noun like 'teacher' while the second blank does not require an article.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with an appropriate option:
I've been walking for three hours. I've got ______ sore feet.

A
A

B
An

C
Some

D
None of the above

Solution

'feet' is a plural subject. Therefore 'A' or 'An' cannot be used. 'Sore' is an adjective. So, 'some' cannot be used either. The best answer is to leave the space blank.
Question 4
1 / -0

Use appropriate articles where necessary:

I don't believe him. He's _____ liar. He is always telling ____ lies.

A
an ; no article

B
a ; no article

C
a ; an

D
the ; no article

Solution

'A' is used before singular countable nouns. Here, 'liar' is a singular countable noun. No article is used before plural countable nouns used in a general sense. Here, 'lies' is such a noun. Therefore, the correct option is: a ; no article.

1 / -0

Fill in the blank with an appropriate article:
It's a beautiful day. Let's sit in _______ garden near my house.

A
a

B
an

C
the

D

The definite article 'the' is used before specific / particular things. Here, 'garden' refers to a specific one, which is near the speaker's house. Therefore, the correct option is: the.
Question 6
1 / -0

Use an appropriate article:

This house is very nice. Has it got _____ garden?

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

'A' is used before singular nouns which are used in a general sense. Here, 'garden' is a singular noun used in a general sense and it begins with a consonant sound. Therefore, the correct option is: a.
Question 7
1 / -0

Use an appropriate article:

I don't feel very well this morning. I've got _____ sore throat.

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

The indefinite article 'a' is used before unspecific nouns used in a general sense and those which begin with a consonant sound. Here, the same is indicated by the words 'sore throat'. Therefore, the correct option is: a.
Question 8
1 / -0

Insert an appropriate article:

Do you enjoy going to ______ concerts? [Intermediate]

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

No article is used before uncountable and abstract nouns or plural countable nouns used in a general sense. Here, 'concerts' is a plural countable noun used in a general sense. Therefore, the correct option is: no article.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with an appropriate option:

When we got to the city center, _______ shops were still open but most of them were closed.

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
many

Solution

In the given sentence, we are referring to the shops located in a specific place, the city center. Hence the noun 'shops' is specific for which we use the definite article 'the', option C is the correct option. Options A and B are incorrect because they're both indefinite articles which are used for nouns which are non-specific and singular, whereas 'shops' is specific and plural. Option D is incorrect because in the sentence, 'most' has been used for shops which were closed. If 'most' of the shops were closed, only a few must be open, and not 'many' because it contradicts the statement, by suggesting that a large number of shops were open, when in fact a large number were closed.
Question 10
1 / -0

Use appropriate articles:

This morning, I bought _______ newspaper and _______ magazine. ________ newspaper is in my bag but I don't know where I put ________ magazine.

A
a, an, the, the

B
a, an, an, the

C
a, a, a, a

D
a, a, the, the

Solution

The nouns 'newspaper' and 'magazine' are mentioned for the first time in the first half of the sentence, they both are non specific as well as singular, hence we use the indefinite article 'a' for both. 'An' would not be used because both the nouns begin with a consonant and not a vowel. Options A and B are hence incorrect. 'The' is used in the second half of the sentence because the nouns have already been mentioned before. Now they refer to specific nouns and hence we use the definite article 'the' for both nouns, and not 'a', making Option C incorrect. The option containing 'a' for both nouns in the first half and 'the' for both nouns in the second half is option D, which is the only correct answer.
