[#794] Let us go to a restaurant and have . . . . . . . . Coffee.
Correct Answer
(D) no article
Explanation
Solution: In English , articles are used to indicate the specificity of a noun. "A" and "an" are indefinite articles used before singular, countable nouns when referring to something nonspecific. "The" is a definite article used before specific nouns that are known to both the speaker and the listener. In this sentence , "coffee" is an uncountable noun when referring to the substance in general. Therefore, no article is needed before "coffee." The correct sentence is "Let us go to a restaurant and have coffee."
[#795] Toni has . . . . . . . . terrible Stomach ache.
Correct Answer
(D) no article
Explanation
Solution: Toni has an terrible stomach ache. "An" is used before "terrible" because it starts with a vowel sound. The indefinite article "an" is used before words that begin with vowel sounds to facilitate smoother pronunciation. Option A: a is incorrect because "a" is used before words that start with consonant sounds. Since "terrible" starts with a vowel sound, "an" is the correct choice. Option C: the is incorrect because "the" is used for specific references. In this case, Toni's stomach ache is general and not previously mentioned, so the indefinite article is appropriate. Option D: no article is incorrect because a noun phrase like "stomach ache" needs an article to indicate it is a singular countable noun in this context. Conclusion: The correct answer is Option B: an , as it correctly follows the rule of using "an" before words that begin with vowel sounds.
