Fill the blank [19] in the given passage with the most appropriate options.

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
No article required

Solution

There are three articles. 'A' and 'an' are indefinite articles, 'the' is definite article.
'A' is used before words having consonant sound as the first heard sound when pronounced.
'An' is used before words having vowel sound as the first heard sound when pronounced.
No article is used before plural countable nouns and before proper nouns.
'The' is used before definite and specific things, ordinal numbers, superlatives etc.

The blank here is preceded by the word 'city'. 'City' is a specific one and not any city because the speaker is asking for the specific distance from the place where they are at that time. Therefore, Option C - 'the' is the suitable option to fill in the blank.
Option A - 'a' and Option B - 'an' both are not suitable here because these articles are used before general things and not before the things which are definite or specific.
The completed sentence thus becomes: How far is the city from here?
Question 2
1 / -0

Choose the correct word/phrase to complete each sentence.
Man is ______ social animal.

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

Options A and B: 'A' and 'an' both refer to non-specific nouns.
The only difference is that 'a' is used for nouns that begin with a consonant: a man, a bat, a child; 'm', 'b', 'c' are consonants.
'An' is used for nouns that begin with a vowel: an animal, an eagle, an ice cream; 'a', 'e' 'i' are vowels
When an adjective modifies the noun, then we use 'a' and 'an' according to the initial of the adjective, and not the noun.
Here, 'social' is the adjective; it begins with a consonant 's'. So, we use 'a'.
Hence option A is correct and B is incorrect.
Option C: 'The' is a definite article that modifies specific nouns, whose identity is made known: the man on the street.
'Animal' is a general word that refers to a kind of living being, and does not refer to a specific animal.
Hence option C is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because the noun uses an article, 'a'.
Question 3
1 / -0

______ Taj Mahal is situated in Agra. Fill in the blank using correct article.

A
A

B
An

C
The

D
None of the above
Solution
1. 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.
2. '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 correct as 'The' indicates the unique nature of the noun, Taj Mahal. Option A is incorrect as 'A Taj Mahal' indicates any random object of Taj Mahal type. Option B is incorrect because 'An' is used with a word having a vowel sound. An Taj Mahal is wrong. Option D is incorrect as an article is required to carry out the meaning of the sentence.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Upstairs there's ____________ big bathroom.

A
Some

B
A

C
An

D
Any

Solution

An indefinite article is used when we are talking generally about something whereas a definite article is used when we are talking about something specific.
The indefinite articles are 'a' and 'an'. An is used before a word starting with a vowel or vowel sound.
A definite article is an article that tells the uniqueness of something.The is the only definite article.
As the blank is followed by the words 'big bathroom' which is a noun complement and as the following word starts with 'b' which is a consonant, it takes 'a'.
'Upstairs there's a big bathroom.'
The correct answer is option B) A.
Question 5
1 / -0

Choose the correct word/phrase to complete the sentence.
_____ water is _____ elixir of life, but _____ water of this pond is poisonous.

A
The, the, the

B
The, an, the

C
No article, the, the

D
No article, the, an

Solution

Use of article is usually omitted before nouns, which are names of uncountable substances (Eg: sugar, water). Hence, no article is to be used before the word, 'water' in the first blank. Hence, options A and B are incorrect.
The word, 'elixir' means 'a magical or medicinal potion'. The definite article, 'the' is used before names of things to give the force of a superlative adjective. In the given sentence, 'Water is the elixir of life' means 'Water is the best magical potion of life'. Hence, the definite article, 'the' is to be used before the word, 'elixir'.
In the given sentence, 'water of this pond' refers to the specific water of the pond being indicated by the words, 'this pond'. The definite article, 'the' is used when we talk about a particular noun. Hence, 'the' is the article to be used before the phrase, 'water of this pond'. Hence, option C is correct.
The indefinite articles, 'a' and 'an' are not used when the noun being described is definite or specific. These cannot be used before the phrase, 'water of this pond' Hence, option D is incorrect.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
He is Mrs. Taylor's _______ husband.

A
a

B
no article

C
the

D
an
Solution
1. 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.
2. '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 B is correct as no article is required to carry out the meaning of the sentence. Option A is incorrect as 'A' as an article doesn't suit the blank as 'a husband' implies any random husband. 'A' is used with singular countable noun. Option D is incorrect as 'An' is used with a word having a vowel sound. An husband is incorrect. Option C is incorrect as 'The' indicates a particular husband mentioned previously in the passage.

the/no article/no article

C
a/no article/no article

D
no article/a/a

E

Here we are talking about foot and head in general, to form a metaphor, and indicate the intensity of the situation, thus no articles will be used before them.

B is the answer.
