Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable article:
Could you close ______ door behind you, please?

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

'A' and 'an' are non-definite articles. They modify nouns that are not specific: their identity is not made known.
'The' is a definite article that modifies a specific noun (its identity is made known).
Option C: In the given sentence, the noun 'door' is made specific by the words 'behind you'. So, the speaker is clarifying which particular door, the one behind 'you'. In this case, we use 'the'.
Hence option C is correct.
Options A and B: As 'a' and 'an' refer to non-specific things, we can't use either over here.
Option D: Since we need an article 'the' for a specific noun, option D is incorrect.

A
a

Question 4
1 / -0

Fill using a suitable article:

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

George works three mornings a week. It hasn't been specified which week, it's a general week, or every week. Being a non-specific, indefinite noun the article 'a' is the correct option, 'an' is incorrect because the noun does not begin with a vowel. 'The' is incorrect because it isn't specified which week. Option D is incorrect because an indefinite article is required before an indefinite noun.
Question 5
1 / -0

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

'A' is used before singular, unspecific nouns which begin with a consonant sound. It is also used to refer to 'one' object/thing/person. 'Week' here is unspecific since September has four weeks and it is not mentioned which week is referred to here. Therefore, the correct option is: a.

Solution

'A' is used before unspecific / general nouns which begin with a consonant sound. Here, 'job' and 'bank' are unspecific ones. Therefore, the correct option is: a ; a.
Had there been only one particular bank in Manchester, we would have used 'the' in the second blank. However, it is unlikely that there would be only one bank.
