Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Complete the sentence with the most appropriate options from those given below.

The professor had a big nose, ___ small mouth and ___ enormous mustache.

A
The, An

B
A, An

C
An, The

D
The, A
Solution
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.
'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 D is incorrect as 'The' is grammatically inappropriate since it is used as a definite article for something previously mentioned and 'A' doesn't match with enormous which starts with a vowel. Option A is incorrect as 'The' used for the first blank is inappropriate since it is used as a definite article for something previously mentioned. Option C is incorrect as 'An' for the first blank is grammatically incorrect as it is used for words with a vowel at the beginning. We use 'A' with a singular noun starting with consonants and 'An' with words starting with vowels. Hence Option B is correct.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank:

____ tear rolled slowly down his cheeks.

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
None of these
Question 3
1 / -0

Identify the article which best fills in the blank:

Liz doesn't usually wear jewelry but yesterday she was wearing ______ necklace.

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

The given statement mentions the jewellery first and then an unspecific necklace which is a part of the jewellery. The noun being an indefinite member of a specific group, article 'a' would be correct because the noun 'necklace' begins with a consonant. Option B is incorrect because the noun does not begin with a vowel. 'The' is incorrect because the noun, 'necklace' is not a specific necklace. Being an indefinite count noun it requires an article, making the Option D incorrect.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill the blank with a suitable article:

When the fire alarm rang, there was ____ total chaos.

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
no article

Solution

No article is used before uncountable /abstract nouns used in a general sense. 'Chaos' is an abstract noun and is used in a general sense here. Therefore, the correct option is: no article.
Question 5
1 / -0

Complete the sentence with the correct word from the given options.

He got dressed and drove to _______ hospital where his sister was admitted.

A
The

B
An

C
A

D
That

Solution

The sentence clearly specifies that the man went to a particular hospital: the one in which his sister was admitted. So, we need to use 'the' which is the definite article. The other options are not used because 'a' and 'an' are not used when we refer to something in particular. Also, we cannot use 'that' because the hospital was not previously mentioned.
So, the correct answer is option A) The.
Question 6
1 / -0

P : His letter for admission to engineering institute, which was received yesterday, has gone missing.
Q : The bouquet of flowers, which was ordered yesterday, has just arrived.

Which of the above statements is/are gramatically correct?

A
Both right

B
Both wrong

C
Only P right

D
Only Q right

Solution

P is wrong. We require 'the' before 'engineering institute' since we are referring to a specific one. So, only Q is right, which is option D.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in blank number (2) ______ with the most appropriate option.

A
a

B
an

C
the

D
None of these

Solution

The is used before a noun when there's a need to specify something definite. Calcutta is a unique proper noun, so there's no need to specify it particularly among, say a group of cities. Thus, we don't need an article here.
So, option D None of these is correct.
Question 8
1 / -0

Complete the given sentence with the best option from those given below.

There's ____ giant tortoise in the Galapagos Islands nicknamed Lonesome George.

A
The

B
A

C
An

D
None

Solution

In the given sentence, we are talking about one giant tortoise. When the noun is singular an article must be used before it.
'A' is used in front of words that start with a consonant sound.
'An' is used in front of words that start with a vowel sound.
'The' can be used with both singular and plural nouns, however the usage of 'the' denotes that the denoting person or thing is already mentioned or known by the reader or listener.
Thus, in the given sentence the apt answer is Option B, 'a'.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable article:

It's a pity we haven't got _____ camera. I'd like to take ______ photograph of that house.

A
an ; an

B
an ; the

C
a ; a

D
the ; a

Solution

We use 'a' before singular, countable nouns that are used in a general sense. Here, both 'camera' and 'photograph' are not specific (both are used in its general sense) and both begin with consonant sounds. Therefore, the correct option is: a ; a.
Question 10
1 / -0

Insert appropriate articles:

We missed our train because we were waiting on ____ wrong platform. We were on ____ Platform 3 instead of ______ Platform 8.

A
the ; the ; the

B
the ; no article ; no article

C
no article ; no article ; no article

D
the ; a ; a

Solution

'The' is used before specific things / places. No article is used before proper nouns. Here, platform is specific - it is the wrong one. Platform 3 and platform 8 are proper nouns. Therefore, the correct option is: the; no article ; no article.
