A
no article/the/a

B
a/an/the

C
the/the/a

D
an/a/the

E

Solution

Article 'a' is used with consonant sounds whereas article 'an' is used with vowel sounds.
In the first blank, article "the" will be used because article 'the' is used to refer to a definite thing or person and here 'pupils' are definite.
In the second blank, article "the" will be used because 'fifth' is a specific term and "the" is used to indicate specific things.
In the third blank, article "a" will be used because 'book' is a general term or a common noun.

A
the/a/an

B
an/no article/the

C
no article/the/the

D
a/no article/a

E
the/no article/the

Solution

The first blank refers to English, the second to coffee and the third to restaurant.

English is used to denote the British people and are a specific community. Thus, specific determiner "the" will be used in the first blank.

Thus, B, C, and D cannot be the answers.

Coffee has been preceded by an adjective good, which starts with a consonant and not a vowel, thus an cannot be used before it.

A cannot be the answer.

C

no article / the

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 is used before a word starting with a consonant or consonant sound.
A definite article is an article that tells the uniqueness of something.
'The' is the only definite article.
The first blank won't take any article as the use of prison here indicates its primary purpose. The second blank shall take 'the' as Tracey's father went to the prison Tracey was in.
The correct answer is D) no article / the.

A
a / the

B
an / no article

C
no article / no article

D
a / no article
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 D is correct as 'A' is used for words with a consonant sound & the second blank requires no article to provide meaning to the sentence.Option A is incorrect as The' refers to a particular subject & shows the uniqueness of the subjects of which the readers are aware of. The TV means a particular TV here. Option B is incorrect as 'An' in the first blank doesn't go with 'Horror' having a consonant sound. 'An' is used for words with a vowel sound. Option C is incorrect because the first blank requires an article to provide meaning to the sentence.

C
an/no article
