Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with the most suitable articles.
____________ fourth boy in ____________ third row, is my son.

A
The, the

B
No article, no article

C
A, a

D
The, a

Solution

The indefinite articles 'a' and 'an' are used to modify a non-specific or non-particular noun. The article 'a' precedes a noun which begins with a consonant sound and the article 'an' precedes a noun which begins with a vowel sound. The definite article 'the' is used to modify a specific or particular noun.
In the given sentence, the speaker is referring to a boy who is standing in a particular position in a particular row. i.e "the fourth position in the third row". Hence, the noun 'fourth boy' and 'third row' should be preceded by the definite article 'the'. Option A is the only option which indicates the use of the article 'the' in both the blanks and is the correct option.
Option D indicates the use of the definite article 'the' in the first blank. However, in the second blank 'a' is indicated as the article to be used. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Options B and C are incorrect as they indicate the use of different articles (other than 'the') or no articles in the blanks.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with the most suitable articles:
Karthik is sailing to ___ Europe via ___ Cape of Good Hope.

A
No article, The

B
The, the

C
An, a

D
A, a

Solution

The definitive article, 'the' is used before some proper nouns which are names of places. Example: The Black Sea, The Pacific Ocean, etc. However, the use of an article is omitted before most proper nouns which are names of people/countries/continents/cities.
In the given sentence, Europe is the name of a continent. Hence, no article is to be used before it. 'Cape of Good Hope' is the name of a place. Hence, the definitive article, 'the' is to be used before it. Hence, option A is correct.
Option B is incorrect as it wrongly indicates that the article, 'the' is to be used before the proper name Europe.
Options C and D are incorrect as they indicate the wrong articles to be used before the proper nouns, 'Europe' and 'Cape of Good Hope'.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable article.
Ayesha goes to __________ school on __________ foot.

A
No article, no article

B
The, the

C
No article, a

D
A, a

Solution

Use of article is omitted before the words, 'school', 'college', church', 'hospital', etc., when these places are visited. It is also omitted before certain phrases consisting of a preposition followed by its object. Eg: 'at home'; 'by hand'; 'on foot'; 'by train'; 'on demand', etc.
Given the above rules, no article is to be used in the given sentence before both the nouns 'school' and 'foot'. Hence, option A is correct.
Option C correctly indicates the use of no article in the first blank. However, it incorrectly indicates the use of the article 'the' in the second blank. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Options B and D are incorrect as they indicate the use of different articles in the blanks.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with the most suitable articles.
__________ king of Scotland saw __________ spider trying to climb up to ___________ ceiling of the cave.

A
The, a, the

B
A, a, the

C
No article, a, no article

D
The, a, no article

Solution

The indefinite articles 'a' and 'an' are used to modify a non-specific or non-particular noun. The article 'a' precedes a noun which begins with a consonant sound and the article 'an' precedes a noun which begins with a vowel sound. The definite article 'the' is used to modify a specific or particular noun.
In the given sentence, the noun phrase, 'king of Scotland' refers to a particular person as there can be only one king of Scotland. Hence, this phrase should be preceded by the definite article 'the'. In both options A and D, this phrase is preceded by the definite article, 'the', which is correct.
Option B indicates the use of the article, 'a' before this noun phrase. Option C indicates the use of no article before this noun phrase. Hence, these two options are incorrect.
The word, 'spider' is a common noun. In the given sentence, it does not refer to any specific spider. Hence, an indefinite article ('a' or 'an') is to be used before this word. As the word, 'spider' starts with a consonant sound, the article 'a' is to be used before it. In both options A and D, this is correctly indicated.
The word cave is preceded by the definite article 'the'. Hence, we know that it refers to a specific cave. The ceiling of such a specific cave should also refer to a specific ceiling. Hence, the noun phrase, 'ceiling of the cave' should be preceded by the definite article, 'the'. Option A indicates this correctly and is the correct answer.
Option D indicates use of no article before the noun phrase, 'ceiling of the cave'. Hence, this option is incorrect.

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 'A' as an article suits the blank as 'a movie' implies any movie that is random in nature. 'A' is used with singular countable noun. Option C is incorrect because 'An' is used with a word having a vowel sound. An movie is incorrect. Option A is incorrect as 'The' indicates a particular movie mentioned previously in the passage.
