Answer: _________

Answer Key

1: A
Solution: Here, 'painter' is a general class and therefore indefinite article will be used. Word after the blank starts without vowel sound. 'A' article will be used.
2: C
Solution: Here, a specific time of the day 'evening' is being talked about. 'The' article will be used.
3: A
Solution: Use 'an' before words such as "hour" which sound like they start with a vowel even if the first letter is a consonant. Also use 'an' before letters and numbers which sound like they begin with a vowel, such as "F" or "8". Here MP begins with 'em' and therefore 'an' article will be used. 'Member' starts with a consonant sound and therefore the second blank will take 'a'.
4: C
Solution: In the given sentence, 'measles' is a specific or definite object and so the answer must be able to refer to a definite object. Option C is correct. 'The' is a definite article and can be used to refer to definite objects. Thus, it is the correct answer.
5: A
Solution: In the FIRST blank, article "a" will be used as the sentence is referring to something general. In the SECOND blank, "no article" will be used because "no article" is used when the speaker is mentioning some measurement (weight). And again, 'weight' is uncountable noun.
6: A
Solution: Here, 'clue' is a general class and therefore indefinite article will be used. Word after the blank starts without vowel sound. 'A' article will be used.
7: A
Solution: Here, 'rocket' is a general class and therefore indefinite article will be used. Word after the blank starts without vowel sound. 'A' article will be used.
8: C
Solution: The definite article 'the' is used before specific things/places. Here, we are referring to the specific television that nobody was watching.
9: D
Solution: Here, no article will be used before a sports name. 'game' is a general class and therefore indefinite article will be used. Word after the second blank starts without vowel sound. 'A' article will be used.
10: C
Solution: Option C is correct as 'The' is used with words with superlatives. 'Most' is superlative.
11: C
Solution: Here, a specific epic poem 'Mahabharata' is being talked about. 'The' article will be used.
12: C
Solution: Option C is correct as 'The' is used with words with superlatives. 'Best' is superlative.
13: A
Solution: The indefinite articles, 'a' and 'an' are used before an indefinite noun. In the given sentence, the noun which follows the blank is 'policeman'. It starts with a consonant sound (p). Hence, the appropriate article is 'a'.
14: A
Solution: Here, 'mirror' is a general class and therefore indefinite article will be used. Word after the blank starts without vowel sound. 'A' article will be used.
15: C
Solution: Here, a specific colour 'blue' is being talked about. 'The' article will be used.
16: B
Solution: In the FIRST blank, article "a" will be used as the sentence is referring to something general. In the SECOND blank, "no article" will be used because "no article" is used when the speaker is mentioning someone's appearance (with dark hair) for the second time. And again, 'hair' is uncountable noun.
17: C, G
Solution: A number defining a position of something in a series is known as an ordinal number. For example - first, second or third. Ordinal numbers in a sentence should always be used with 'the' before them. In the given sentence, the ordinal number is used as an adjective where the ordering is unique and definite. Thus, Option C is the correct response.
18: C
Solution: Here, a specific group of novel 'mystery novels' is being talked about. 'The' article will be used.
19: C
Solution: The use of definite article 'the' before the noun 'book', makes it clear that we are referring to a specific book and its chapters. Therefore it is imperative that we use 'the' before 'fourth chapter' to show that we are not referring to just any chapter of any book but a specific chapter of a specific book. Also when two or more nouns or adjectives refer to different persons or things, the article is used before each noun or adjective. Thus option C is the correct answer.
20: D
Solution: No article is required.
21: C
Solution: Here, a specific group of people 'Brave' is being talked about. 'The' article will be used.
22: A
Solution: 'One' gives the sound of consonant so before consonant we use 'a'.
23: A
Solution: For general things indefinite article is used. The sound of the word 'European' starts with 'yoo' therefore 'a' article is correct.
24: A
Solution: Here, 'television' is a general class and therefore indefinite article will be used. Word after the blank starts without vowel sound. 'A' article will be used.
25: C
Solution: Here, a specific direction 'eastern' is being talked about. 'The' article will be used.
26: C
Solution: 'The' is used before specific/particular things. Here, we are referring to specifically those things which are 'the same'.
27: C
Solution: The article 'the' is used before a specific, definite noun. The sentence given clearly states that a specific book is spoken about ('the book'). Since a book has only one back, the article 'the' is the correct answer here.
28: A
Solution: Here, 'dog' is a general class and therefore indefinite article will be used. Word after the blank starts without vowel sound. 'A' article will be used.
29: C
Solution: The sentence already mentions 'previous evening' which means 'yesterday evening'. The sentence clearly specifies the date and time when the subject fell down and so we need to use the definite article 'the'.
30: D
Solution: The first and second blank shall take 'the' as the sentence talks about a specific time. The third blank won't take any article as the word 'earth' itself is descriptive.
31: B
Solution: Option B is correct as 'no article' is used with names usually and 'A' is used with singular countable noun that are random in nature and has a consonant sound.
32: A
Solution: 'a' should be used before words with consonant sounds at the beginning and 'an' before words with vowel sounds at the beginning. The word 'University' has consonant sound 'yoo'. Hence, 'a' is used.
33: B
Solution: An is used before a word starting with a vowel or vowel sound. The blank shall take 'an' as it represents one of the English teachers.
34: C
Solution: The proper noun here 'Wilsons' refers to a specific family of the name Wilson. Hence article 'the' is most appropriate and option C is correct.
35: C
Solution: 'The' is a definite article used before superlatives. 'Loudest' is the superlative degree of 'loud'.
36: A
Solution: The indefinite article 'a/an' is used with the words 'few, lot or little' to show that the quantity of a thing is small or big but of importance.
37: C
Solution: Here, 'sea' is specific place known to the reader. Definite article 'the' will be used.
38: B
Solution: Indefinite articles 'a' or 'an' are used when the noun is not specific or the noun is common. 'Onion' begins with vowel sound and takes 'an' article while 'tomato' begins with consonant sound and takes 'a' article.
39: B
Solution: Here, 'Umbrella' is a general thing and therefore indefinite article will be used. Word after the blank starts with vowel sound. 'An' article will be used.
40: C
Solution: Here, a specific 'black cap' that was in the shop is being talked about. Definite article 'the' will be used.
41: D
Solution: No article is required.
42: C
Solution: '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 it specifically tells us about the time when a dessert is taken i. e. at the end of a meal.
43: D
Solution: There won't come any article before the word 'computers' as the writer/speaker is talking generally about computers.
44: D
Solution: Peru is the name of a single country in South America. The articles 'a' and 'an' are synonymous with 'one', hence the article 'a' is correct for the first sentence. If we use 'the' in place of 'a' it changes the meaning of the sentence, it would then mean that Peru is the only country in South America. In the second sentence, the capital mentioned is the specific capital of Peru. Being a specific definite noun, we use 'the' in the second sentence.
45: B
Solution: 'Heir' begins with a vowel sound and hence 'an' will be used.
46: C
Solution: Here, a specific book 'Bhagavad Gita' is being talked about. 'The' article will be used.
47: D
Solution: The definite article 'the' is used before specific/particular nouns and unique nouns. Here, the newspapers are specific ones which are unique.
48: B
Solution: Here, 'owl' is a general bird and therefore indefinite article will be used. Word after the blank starts with vowel sound. 'An' article will be used.
49: A
Solution: Indefinite article is used with positive adjectives. Word after both the blanks starts without vowel sound. 'A' article will be used.
50: C
Solution: Option C is correct as 'The' is used with words with superlatives. 'Best' is superlative.
51: C
Solution: The word 'rich' is adjective. However, it also sometimes used as noun to refer to the entire class of people who are 'rich'. Hence, definite article 'the' is used.
52: B
Solution: The first blank shall take the article 'a' because vegetarian starts with the consonant 'v' and is a singular countable noun while the second blank will not take any article as meat is an uncountable noun.
53: A
Solution: Here, 'moment' is unspecific. The sentence also indicates 'one' moment. Hence, we need to use an indefinite article. Since moment starts with a consonant sound, the correct article is 'a'.
54: C
Solution: Here, price of specific thing i.e. 'Share' has been mentioned. Hence, 'the' article will be used.
55: C
Solution: As the speaker talks about a particular day's weather, the blank shall take the definite article 'the'.
56: B
Solution: In the first blank, 'an' article will be used because 'eagle' is a common noun and begins with vowel sound. In the second blank, 'the' article will be used because specific location 'sky' where eagle flies is mentioned.
57: C
Solution: The sentence is talking about a particular park where there were many beavers. Hence, definite article 'the' will be used.
58: A
Solution: Here 'writer' is a common noun and will be preceded by indefinite article. 'A' is used because the word 'foreign' begins with consonant sound.
59: C
Solution: Here, it is specifically mentioned where the person was taken i.e. 'hospital'. Hence, definite article 'the' will be used.
60: B
Solution: Use 'an' before words such as "hour" which sound like they start with a vowel even if the first letter is a consonant. Also use 'an' before letters and numbers which sound like they begin with a vowel, such as "F" or "8".
61: C
62: D
Solution: No article is required.
63: C
Solution: Here, the sentence talks about the 'Michigan University' as specific class. Since we are referring to specific things, we need to use the definite article 'the'.
64: C
Solution: By implying option C, the sentence becomes "Tim lives in a small village in the country ". This fulfils the motive here as the noun small village is in general and the noun country is definite.
65: A
Solution: 'A' article will be used because there are other useful metals as well and Copper is one of them.
66: D
Solution: No article is required.
67: C
Solution: Definite article (the) is used before a noun to indicate that the identity of the noun is known to the reader. After the first sentence we know which park, therefore, 'the' article is used.
68: C
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.
69: B
Solution: Here, the sentence talks about the 'area' as general class. Since we are referring to general things, we need to use the indefinite article 'a'.
70: B
Solution: Use 'an' before words such as "hour" which sound like they start with a vowel even if the first letter is a consonant. Also use 'an' before letters and numbers which sound like they begin with a vowel, such as "F" or "8". Here MLA begins with 'em' and therefore 'an' article will be used.
71: A
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. As 'dollar' is a singular countable noun and starts with the consonant 'd', the blank will take 'a'.
72: C
Solution: When a specific word or place is to be emphasized, the article "the" is used. For example, the Sun, the Earth, etc. Here, the speaker is referring to a particular school that the two people study at. Therefore, despite being a common term, the article "the" is used.

"An" is used before "evidence" because "evidence" starts with a vowel sound, and the indefinite article "an" is used to make the sentence flow smoothly before vowel sounds. Option A: a is incorrect because "a" is used before words starting with consonant sounds, but "evidence" starts with a vowel sound. Option C: the is incorrect because "evidence" is being introduced for the first time, so we need the indefinite article "an" rather than the definite article "the". Option D: no article is incorrect because "evidence" is a countable noun in this context, so it needs an article, and "an" is appropriate here. Conclusion: The correct answer is Option B: an , as it correctly follows the rule of using "an" before a word that starts with a vowel sound.
80: D
Solution: The definite article the is used before the names of unique geographical features such as deserts, rivers, and mountain ranges. The Sahara is a specific desert, making it a unique geographical feature.

The definite article, 'the' is used before names of things which are unique/ one of their kind. When we say, 'Water is the elixir of life', the article, 'the' emphasizes that 'water is the only elixir of life'. Hence, the article 'the' must precede 'elixir'. Option D is incorrect as it suggests the use of the indefinite article, 'an' before 'elixir. The definite article 'the' is also used we talk about a particular person or thing.

100: B
Solution: Articles are used to determine whether a noun is definite or indefinite in a sentence. 'The' is used when we want to specify something definite (a particular person or thing). On the other hand, 'a' and 'an' are used when the noun we want to refer is not something specific but a general one. Here, article 'an' is correct. It is used before a word beginning with a vowel sound. Though letter 'h' is a consonant, it begins with a silent 'h', thus, the word starts with a vowel sound 'o'.

Solution: Here, 'Indians' is a specific group of people belonging to India. Hence, 'the' article will be used.
110: A
Solution: The noun 'village' is made specific by the words 'where I was born'. Hence we use the article 'the' and option B is wrong. When the noun is spoken of in general sense, we omit the article.

Solution: 'A' is used before unspecific, singular nouns that begin with a consonant sound. Here, we are referring to an unspecific 'problem'.
219: A

220: B
Solution: Here, the sentence talks about the 'boy' as general class of things. Since we are referring to general things, we need to use the definite article 'a/an'. The word 'intelligent' starts with a vowel and therefore 'an' will be used.

224: B
Solution: "The" is placed before the latter part of "life" in the sentence as we are referring to a specific life i.e. life of insects is being referred to in the given sentence hence we use a definite noun . On contrary the former "life" doesn't require an article as definite article is not used ahead of a general thing/noun. The former "life" does not require an article to modify it whereas the latter requires an article as we are modifying the noun.
225: D
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.
226: C
Solution: The definite article 'the' is used when an adjective is used to represent the entire class of its type and not a particular noun. Here, 'rich' and 'poor' indicate all the 'rich' and 'poor' people in general. Therefore, option C is correct.
227: A
Solution: 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'. 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. 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.
228: A
Solution: Here, both 'will' and 'way' are general term and therefore article 'a' is used.
229: C
Solution: The definite article 'the' is used before specific/particular things. Here, 'garden' refers to the specific one near the house the speaker is living in.
230: C
Solution: 'A better actor' is correct as the sentence describes the person in general and is a singular noun. We will put 'a' before 'producer' because it is a general fact and is a singular noun. Thus option C is the correct answer.

232: C
Solution: Here, a specific bush is being talked about. 'The' article will be used.

Solution: Here, 'days' is a general class and therefore indefinite article will be used. Word after the blank starts without vowel sound. 'A' article will be used.
236: A
Solution: We do not use articles in front of proper nouns. Since 'Japanese' is a proper noun (in the first case it refers to the language, the second time it refers to the people) we omit the article in the first blank. When the proper noun refers to a group of people, like 'the Japanese' collectively refers to the citizens of Japan, we use the definite article 'the'. The noun 'way' is specific as it expresses a particular manner in which the Japanese speak.
237: A
Solution: The first blank is followed by words which act as a reference to the person we are talking about, so it won't take any article. The second blank will take 'a' as 'a' is followed by a noun complement.

Solution: In the given sentence, we are talking about a particular bus that gave a signal before taking a turn. Thus, in this case, the use of a definite article is required.

Solution: Here, 'aim' is a general class and therefore indefinite article will be used. Word after the blank starts with vowel sound. 'An' article will be used.
240: B
Solution: Here, 'hen' is a general class and therefore indefinite article will be used. Word after the blank starts with vowel sound. 'An' article will be used.
241: B
Solution: In the first blank, article "the" will be used because "the" is used to refer to a particular/specific group of people.

In the third blank, article "the" will be used because article "the" is used to refer to a DEFINITE group of people like 'BRITISH PEOPLE'.
242: 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.

Solution: Option C is correct as 'The' is used with words with superlatives. 'Longest' is superlative.
244: A

248: D
Solution: The correct answer is no article . In the sentence, "It was no article fun time for the animals," the use of an article before "fun time" is not necessary. "Fun time" is treated as a singular compound noun, and in this context, it does not require an article. Therefore, the correct answer is Option D: no article .
249: A
Solution: In the first blank, article "the" will be used because article 'the' is used with superlatives. Similarly, In the second blank, article "the" will be used because article "the" is used with superlatives.

294: C
Solution: Articles are used to determine whether a noun is definite or indefinite in a sentence. 'The' is used when we want to specify something definite (a particular person or thing). On the other hand, 'a' and 'an' are used when the noun we want to refer is not something specific but a general one. Here, we want to focus on one particular thing i.e. "matter". We are saying something specific that needs to be discussed seriously. So, 'the' article will be used.
295: C

Solution: The blue car and the grey car are mentioned for the first time in the first sentence and they're known only to the speaker at this point. They're indefinite things starting with a consonant sound, hence the article 'a' is used and 'the' isn't. In the second sentence, these nouns are mentioned for the second time, which is why 'the' is used and not 'a'. The noun 'owner' has not been mentioned before but is still specific, as there is only one owner of the grey car, hence the article 'the' is correct, and 'a' isn't. This makes the option B correct, having all the correct articles mentioned.

312: A
Solution: The words, 'weak', 'strong', 'noble' and 'wicked' are adjectives. However, they are also sometimes used as nouns to refer to the entire class of people who are 'weak', 'strong', 'noble' and 'wicked' respectively. Hence, the definite article, 'the' is used before both these nouns.

381: D
Solution: Articles are used before nouns or noun equivalents and are a type of adjective. The definite article (the) is used before a noun to indicate that the identity of the noun is known to the reader or the noun is specific. The indefinite article (a, an) is used before a noun that is general or when its identity is not known. 'The' is used with both singular and plural noun while 'a/an' is used with singular noun. In the sentence 'good deal' is indefinite but 'war' is specific. Hence, 'a' before 'good deal' and 'the' before 'war'.

A definite article is an article that tells the uniqueness of something. 'The' is the only definite article. There won't come an article in the first blank as 'inflation' is an abstract noun.

388: C
Solution: David picked up a nut from the hole. "A" is used before "nut" because it refers to one nut among many, and it is being mentioned for the first time. The indefinite article is used to introduce something that is not specific or previously known. "The" is used before "hole" because it refers to a specific hole from which the nut was picked. The definite article is used when the noun is specific or already known to the speaker and listener. Option A: the, the is incorrect because "nut" is not specific initially, and we need the indefinite article "a". Option B: a, an is incorrect because "hole" is specific, and we need the definite article "the", not "an". Option D: the, a is incorrect because "nut" is not specific at first, and "hole" is specific, so it requires "the". Conclusion: The correct answer is Option C: a, the , as it follows the correct usage of the indefinite article for a general noun and the definite article for a specific noun.

434: C
Solution: When a noun is followed by a phrase or clause that identifies it, that means the noun is specific and particular. Here the noun 'name' is made specific by the clause "of that man we met yesterday". For such nouns, we use the article 'the' which is a definite article.
435: D
Solution: As per the rules of use of the indefinite article, the indefinite article is used in its original numerical sense of one i.e. to denote that there is a single unit of anything, the indefinite article can be used to replace the use of number 'one'. Here since there are two paintings one black and one gold, the indefinite article 'a' or 'an' should be used before each noun in place of number one to denote a single unit of each. 'A' is used for nouns that begins with consonant sound. Since it is a specific museum, definite article 'the' should be used before it.
436: C
Solution: If two nouns refer to the same person or thing, article is used before the first noun only. But if the nouns refer to different persons or things, article is used before each noun. Since in the given statement, both the nouns yellow and blue refer to one bird, article will be used before the first noun only and no article will be used before the second. Also, indefinite article 'a' should be used whenever noun is unspecific. Therefore, Option C is the correct answer.

440: B
Solution: The first blank shall take the indefinite article 'an' because the first blank is followed by a word starting with the vowel 'i' and 'interesting story' represents a singular countable noun.
441: A
Solution: We use the phrase 'in hospital' when the object of the preposition 'in' (person who's in hospital) is a patient. When a person is in the hospital building, we say 'in the hospital'. Also, we use the phrase 'in hospital' in British English, whereas the Americans say 'in the hospital'. Since we are following British English, the latter phrase is not preferred. Hence no article is required in the first blank. 'Home' when spoken of in general sense, does not use an article. When the home belongs to the person in it, we say 'at home' and not 'at the home'. In the given sentence, 'home' is spoken of in the general sense and it belongs to the person 'she'. When the noun is spoken of in general sense, we omit the article. But, when the noun is specific, like 'children' here, we use the definite article 'the'. The noun 'children' is specific as it's made known to the reader that it's the person's children. Hence we use article 'the', and option A is correct.

456: A
Solution: Article "a" will be used because article "a" is used when the speaker is making a general statement and the noun is having a consonant sound.
457: C
Solution: 'The' is the correct option, because the noun it is used for, Iliad, is an epic, well known by most scholars. There's only one epic in the world with the title 'Iliad' and hence it's correct.
458: A
Solution: In the first blank, article "a" will be used as a "man" is a general term. In the second blank, article "the" will be used because it is the same bar, they are referring to something specific. Similarly, In the third blank, article "the" will be used because (same time) something specific has been mentioned. In the fourth blank, no article will be used as it is Definite that there are two glasses of soda. And no article is used before noun + number.
459: C
Solution: In the given sentence, the noun 'door' is made specific by the words 'behind you'. So, the speaker is clarifying which particular door, the one behind 'you'. In this case, we use 'the'.

464: B
Solution: Use 'an' before words such as "hour" which sound like they start with a vowel even if the first letter is a consonant. Also use 'an' before letters and numbers which sound like they begin with a vowel, such as "F" or "8". Here MLA begins with 'em' and therefore 'an' article will be used.
465: D
Solution: Let's break down why the correct answer is Option D: no article, the . Part 1: "Punjab is..." The word "Punjab" is the name of a specific place (a state in India). We generally do not use an article (a, an, or the) before proper nouns like names of countries, states, or cities . So, the first blank should have "no article". Part 2: "...land of India." Here, we are talking about a specific land or a very well-known geographical or historical concept. Specifically, considering the context, it is very well known that Punjab is a fertile land.
Also the name "land of India" is generally used for a well-known reason.
Therefore, we use "the" before nouns when we are referring to a specific or unique thing . So, "the" is the correct article for the second blank. Therefore, the complete and correct sentence is: Punjab is the land of India.
466: B
Solution: Use 'an' before words such as "hour" which sound like they start with a vowel even if the first letter is a consonant. Also use 'an' before letters and numbers which sound like they begin with a vowel, such as "F" or "8".

As it refers to a particular noun (i.e the town hall of the particular city), the definite article, 'the' is used before the word, 'town hall'.
471: D

472: C
Solution: Here, a specific book 'Gita' is being talked about. 'The' article will be used.
473: D

483: A

484: D
Solution: No article is required.
485: A
Solution: The correct answer is A: a . Here's why: We use articles (a, an, the) before nouns. The words "a" and "an" are indefinite articles , used for nouns that are not specific. The word "the" is a definite article , used for specific nouns. "Language" is a noun, and in this sentence, we are not talking about a specific language. So, we need an indefinite article (a or an). The choice between "a" and "an" depends on the sound of the word following the article. We use "an" before words that start with a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u). We use "a" before words that start with a consonant sound . The word "easy" starts with the vowel sound "e". However, the question states "French is . . . . . easy language." Therefore the word after the article is "easy language" and not just "easy". So the determining word is language Because language starts with a consanant sound "L" , the correct article to use is "a" . Therefore, the correct sentence is: "French is a easy language."
486: D
Solution: Definite article is used with positions, directions, numbers etc. Hence, 'right' and 'left' will follow 'the' article.

523: C
Solution: Here, the sentence talks about the 'American' and 'European' as general classes of people. Since we are referring to general things, we need to use the indefinite article 'a/an'. 'An' is used before vowel sound article. 'European' sounds like 'yoo' and therefore 'a' article will be used.
524: C
Solution: The first blank refers to death and the second to loss. Since death is a specific event, the will be used in the first blank. Thus, A, B, D cannot be the answers. The loss is specified to be the of her home and thus definite article "the" will be used in the second blank.
525: C

531: A
Solution: The word "very" is irrelevant. "funny joke" takes a determiner, in this case "a".
532: A
Solution: Here, 'Chance' is something general and unspecific. Hence, indefinite article will be used. 'A' article is used because 'unique' starts with a consonant sound.
533: A
Solution: In the first blank, article "the" will be used because here the 'time' is specific. In the second blank, "no article" or "zero article" will be used because no article is used after the words like "sort of", "out of" etc.
534: B
Solution: Use 'an' before words such as "hour" or "honour" which sound like they start with a vowel even if the first letter is a consonant. Also use 'an' before letters and numbers which sound like they begin with a vowel, such as "F" or "8".
535: A
Solution: The first blank won't take any article as 'classical music' does not represent something specific and is uncountable while the second blank shall take 'the' as 'string quartets' shows something specific.
536: B
Solution: Indefinite article is used with singular noun. 'An' article will be used because the word 'Indian' begins with vowel sound.
537: A
Solution: Here, 'puppy' is a general class and therefore indefinite article will be used. Word after the blank starts with consonant sound. 'A' article will be used.
538: D

542: A

543: B
Solution: Here, the sentence talks about the 'teacher' as general class of people like 'Arnold'. Since we are referring to general things, we need to use the definite article 'a/an'. The word 'American' starts with a vowel and therefore 'an' will be used.

Solution: The first blank won't take any article as it is followed by an abstract noun and the second blank shall take 'the' as we are talking specifically about 'truthfulness'.
545: D
Solution: No article is required.
546: A
Solution: We are not referring to a specific coat. Hence, we need to use an indefinite article. Since 'coat' begins with a consonant sound, the article 'a' is the answer.
547: A

554: D
Solution: No article is required.
555: A
Solution: In the word "year" the letter Y makes a consonant sound. The rule of indefinite articles is that the word "a" goes before consonant sounds and the word "an" goes before vowel sounds.
556: B
Solution: The first blank refers to duty, the second to bed and the third one to work. Since work is an uncountable noun, no article will be used in the third blank. Go to bed is a phrase used for sleeping, and thus no article will be used in the second blank.
557: C
Solution: 'The' is a definite article and is used before specific things/places. Here, the 'post office' mentioned is specifically the one which is behind the speaker's house.
558: C
Solution: 'The' is used before adjectives when they represent a particular class or group rather than a single noun. Here, the adjective 'poor' is used to indicate the entire class of poor people.
559: C
Solution: Here, specific place 'library' has been mentioned from where books shall be borrowed. Hence, definite article 'the' will be used.
560: C
Solution: Definite article 'the' is used when an adjective is used to represent the entire class of its type and not just a particular noun. Here, 'sick' indicates all sick people and not just a single person.
561: B
Solution: Use 'an' before words such as "hour" which sound like they start with a vowel even if the first letter is a consonant. Also use 'an' before letters and numbers which sound like they begin with a vowel, such as "F" or "8". Here X-ray begins with 'ex' and therefore 'an' article will be used.
562: B
Solution: Use 'an' before words such as "hour" which sound like they start with a vowel even if the first letter is a consonant. Also use 'an' before letters and numbers which sound like they begin with a vowel, such as "F" or "8". 'An' will be used before 'sms'.
563: B
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 blank shall take 'an' as 'Italian City' is a noun complement.
564: A
Solution: Here, the sentence talks about the 'letter' as general class of things. Since we are referring to general things, we need to use the indefinite article 'a'.
565: D
Solution: The first blank refers to time, the second to tree. The time is specified to be the first, definite article of "the" will be used in the first blank. The tree is preceded by an adjective of real, thus a countable noun "a" will be used in the second blank.
566: C
Solution: The given nouns 'Chief Executive Officer' and 'Managing Director' are specific positions of a company, hence they are definite nouns and we use a definite article for both of them, 'the', which is the only definite article, and it modifies both the nouns because they're specific (what also makes them specific is the phrase 'in the meeting room' as we are referring to the CEO and the MD in the meeting room), hence Option C is correct.
567: B
Solution: 'The' is used before the plural forms of names of the countries/states. For example, 'The Netherlands, The United Arab Emirates.' 'USA' is an abbreviation of United States of America. It is a made up of 50 states and hence we use 'The' before 'U.S.A.' 'India' is a proper noun which is in the singular form. We use no articles before the proper nouns, hence we will not use any article before 'India'.
568: C
Solution: The article 'the' is used when the noun is specific and known to the speaker as well as the listener. The noun 'visa' is not specified as to which visa and it's been mentioned for the first time here, so 'the' isn't the correct article. An indefinite article, either 'a' or 'an' is required. 'An' is used for nouns beginning with a vowel, 'visa' begins with a consonant, and hence 'a' is the correct article for 'visa'.
569: C
Solution: 'A' is an indefinite article used before consonant sounds. 'An' is an indefinite article used before vowel sounds. 'The' is a definite article used before definite/specific things/superlatives etc. 'The' is also used before adjectives which represent the entire class and not a specific person. Here, the adjective 'rich' is used without the noun and the adjective represents the entire class of rich people, not one specific rich person. The adjective is used as a noun in this case.
570: B
Solution: An is used before a word starting with a vowel or vowel sound. The blank shall take 'an' as it represents one of the English universities.
571: A
Solution: Even though the word 'one' begins with the vowel 'o', it's pronounced as 'won' and thus has the sound of consonant 'w'. Thus, we use 'a' instead of 'an'.
572: C
Solution: Article "the" will be used because (only musician) something specific has been mentioned.
573: B
Solution: Use 'an' before words such as "hour" which sound like they start with a vowel even if the first letter is a consonant. Also use 'an' before letters and numbers which sound like they begin with a vowel, such as "F" or "8".
574: A
Solution: In the first blank, article "the" will be used because they are discussing a specific day (DEFINITE) when the weather was raining. Therefore, a/an is incorrect. In the second blank, article "a" will be used as the speaker is mentioning about the event for the first time.
575: C
Solution: Article "the" will be used because they are discussing about a specific river (DEFINITE) whose water is not fit for drinking.
576: A
Solution: The correct article is "a" because the word "long" begins with a consonant sound . "A" is used before words that start with a consonant sound , regardless of whether the first letter is a vowel or consonant. In this case, "long" starts with the consonant sound /l/ , so we say "a long time" . Using "an" would be incorrect because it is used before vowel sounds . "The" is used when referring to something specific or previously mentioned , which is not the case here. No article is not suitable because "a long time" is an indefinite period and requires an article.
577: C
Solution: Since the speaker is referring to a specific house, we need to use the definite article 'the'.
578: A
Solution: The blank shall take 'a' as 'book' is singular countable noun and starts with the consonant 'b'.
579: C
Solution: As 'Kalidas' is compared with a specific person 'Shakespeare', 'the' article will be used.
580: C
Solution: For this sentence, we use 'the' as the sentence tells that for definite or a particular help the speaker was thanked.
581: C
Solution: Definite article is used with positions, directions, numbers etc. Hence, 'North' will follow 'the' article.
582: D
Solution: The dress mentioned in the sentence is a single dress, with a combination of two colours, by adding an article to the blank, we change the meaning of the sentence, making it two dresses. Hence option D is correct.
583: D
Solution: The correct use of articles in the sentence is as follows: " The Titanic met with an accident in the Pacific Ocean." In this sentence: "The" is used before "Titanic" because it refers to a specific ship, the Titanic. "An" is used before "accident" because it is the first mention of the accident, and "an" is used for indefinite nouns. "The" is used before "Pacific Ocean" because it refers to a specific ocean, the Pacific Ocean. So, the correct option is Option D: the, an, the , which correctly uses articles in the sentence.
584: B
Solution: No article is required before a crop name. 'A' will be used in the second blank because there are other wholesome meal as well.
585: C
Solution: While referring to a member of a particular class or group, we can use two kinds of statements. "Seals are excellent swimmers" or "The seal is an excellent swimmer." Since the given statement complies with the second type, it will use the definite article 'the'.
586: C
Solution: "The Indian army" refers to a specific and known entity, so the definite article "the" is used. "The affected people" also refers to a specific group of people who were impacted, so "the" is again appropriate. "An" is used before singular, countable nouns that begin with a vowel sound, but here we are talking about specific known groups, not introducing something new or indefinite. Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The Indian army rescued the affected people." Hence, Option D is correct.
587: A
Solution: We use the definite article 'the' before nouns that are already known to the reader. The noun 'sun' is already known, hence we use 'the'. We do not use articles in expressions like 'by day' or 'by night'. Also, we use the article 'the' while referring to a specific 'day' or 'night'. In the given sentence, 'day' is specific as the sentence narrates a particular day, and 'by night' is an expression that does not use 'the'.
588: A
Solution: 'UFO' begins with 'yoo' sound and thus indefinite article 'A' will be used.
589: C
Solution: When the speaker knows the person talked about 'The' article is used.
590: C
Solution: The first blank shall take 'the' as it is followed by the word 'English' which represents a class of people. The second and third blank won't take any article as 'hands' is a plural noun and represents no specific number and 'Turkey' is the name of a country.
591: C
Solution: Here, a specific place 'hospital' is mentioned to enquire whether the second person will go there or not. Hence, 'the' article will be used.
592: A
Solution: The first and fourth blank will take no article as 'Summer' is a name of a season and 'very hot' is irrelevant. The second blank will take 'a' article as summer is mentioned as one of the seasons. The third blank will take 'the' article as it is specified 'summer of last year'.
593: C
Solution: Here, the adjective 'faithful' is connected with a specific animal 'dog'. Hence, 'the' article will be used.
594: B
Solution: Here, the sentence talks about the 'Apple' as general class of things. Since we are referring to general things, we need to use the indefinite article 'a/an'. The word 'apple' starts with a vowel sound and therefore 'an' will be used.
595: A
Solution: Even though the word 'one' begins with the vowel 'o', it's pronounced as 'won' and thus has the sound of consonant 'w'. Thus, we use 'a' instead of 'an'.
596: C
Solution: In the first blank, article "the" will be used because article "the" is used to refer to something specific (piano). In the second blank, 'piece' is specific, hence, article "the" will be used.
597: B
Solution: Indefinite articles 'a' or 'an' are used when the noun is not specific or the noun is common. 'Onion' is common noun and begins with vowel sound, thus takes 'an' article.
598: A
Solution: Indefinite articles 'a' or 'an' are used when the noun is not specific or the noun is common. 'Clay pot' is common noun and begins with consonant sound, thus takes 'a' article.
599: B
600: C
Solution: Option C is correct as 'The' refers to a particular subject & shows the uniqueness of the subjects of which the readers are aware of. The Birmingham Museum is unique. No article required before last year.
601: D
Solution: We don't use any articles while referring to the name of a book. So, neither a definite nor indefinite article will be used here.

603: D
Solution: No article is required.
604: D

607: A

609: D
Solution: No article is required.
610: C
Solution: Option C is correct as 'The' is used with words with superlatives. 'Best' is superlative.
611: D
Solution: The first and second blank shall take 'the' as the sentence talks about a class of people (great) and their lives. The third blank won't take an article as 'contagion' is an abstract noun.
612: D
Solution: No article is used before plural countable nouns used in a general sense. 'Shoes' is a plural countable noun and is used in a general sense in this sentence.
613: D
Solution: No article is required.
614: A
Solution: 'European' starts with a vowel but while pronouncing, we say 'Yu-ro-pi-un.' Hence, it has a consonant sound and not a vowel sound. Thus we can say 'a European'.
615: A
616: A
Solution: 'A' is used before unspecific/general, singular nouns which begin with a consonant sound. The sentence is referring to an unspecific 'mistake'. Therefore, the correct article is 'a'.
617: D
Solution: No article is required.
618: C
Solution: 'Corsica' is a proper noun and no article will be used before it. In the second blank 'the' article will be used because a specific location is mentioned i.e. 'Mediterranean sea'.
619: C
Solution: Here, the speaker is talking about specific 'postman'. Hence, article 'the' will be used.
620: D
Solution: The definite article 'the' is used before specific things. Here, we are referring to the specific information that 'you' need. Hence, we must use 'the' before it. No article is used before proper nouns. Here 'page 15' is a proper noun. Therefore, no article is used before it.
621: B
Solution: Here, the sentence talks about the 'optician' as general class of people like the first person's son. Since we are referring to general things, we need to use the definite article 'a/an'. The word 'optician' starts with a vowel and therefore 'an' will be used.

Solution: No article is required.
623: A

624: D
Solution: No article is required.
625: D
Solution: The sentence talks about Queen Victoria introducing English education in India. When we refer to a specific historical figure or entity, we don't need to use an indefinite article ("a" or "an") or the definite article ("the") unless there is more than one of the same title. In this case, there was only one Queen Victoria, and we are referring to her in a specific historical context. So, the correct option is Option D: no article , which means that no article is needed in the sentence.
626: B
Solution: Use 'an' before words such as "hour" which sound like they start with a vowel even if the first letter is a consonant. Also use 'an' before letters and numbers which sound like they begin with a vowel, such as "F" or "8". 'An' will be used before 'S.D.O.' and 'officer'. 'A' will be used before 'very high rank'.
627: D
Solution: The first and third blank shall take 'the' as the sentence talks about a particular explorer and a particular place. The second blanks shall take 'a' as 'Soviet airman' is adjective + a singular countable noun and starts with the consonant 'S'.
628: A
Solution: Here, 'kilo' is a general class of measurement. Hence, 'a' article will be used.
629: B
Solution: Before most proper nouns, like names of people, continents, countries, cities, etc, the use of an article is omitted. As 'Sicily' is the name of a city, (which is an island), no article precedes this word. However, before certain proper names, especially names of places, the definite article 'the' is used. The word 'Andamans' is one such proper name which denotes the name of a place (a group of islands). Other examples are: 'the Himalayas', the Sahara', 'the West Indies', etc.

648: C

649: D
Solution: No article is required.
650: C

651: B
Solution: Use 'an' before words such as "hour" or "honour" which sound like they start with a vowel even if the first letter is a consonant.

652: C
Solution: In this sentence, "Reliance store" refers to a specific store, so it should be preceded by the definite article "the." "A" is used before singular countable nouns when they are mentioned for the first time, "an" is used before singular countable nouns beginning with a vowel sound, and "none of the above" is not correct in this context. Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Anu works at the Reliance store."
653: A

654: C
Solution: 'only person' indicates particularity and therefore 'the' article will be used.

658: D
Solution: No article is required.

660: B, F
Solution: Here, the noun after the blank is common noun. Hence, indefinite article will be followed. 'An' is used because the word 'honest' sounds 'onest'.

665: D
Solution: No article is required.
666: C
Solution: The adjective 'thrilling' is attached to a particular movie. Hence, definite article 'the' will be used.

Solution: "A" is an indefinite article used to denote the singularity of a person or an object. Hence, will be used in the following sentence.
672: C
Solution: In this particular sentence, the noun we are referring to is the 'sun', which is very specific. Hence the correct answer to this question is option C, 'the'.
673: C

674: D
Solution: No article is used before abstract nouns. 'Unemployment' is an abstract noun.
675: A
Solution: Option A is the answer since "the" is a definite article and the first blank is talking about a definite day, which is the first day. The river and camp mentioned in the statement are indefinite ones and aren't talking about a particular river or camp, thus a definite article cannot be used. Both of them begin with consonants and not vowels, and thus "an" will not be used.
676: C

And whenever 'U.S.A.' is mentioned, the definite article 'the' comes before it.
682: B

683: C
Solution: Let's look at each blank spot individually: * First Blank: ". . . . . . . . English cannot make..." Here, we are talking about the English people *in general*. When we talk about a nationality in general terms, we don't use an article (a, an, or the). So, the correct choice here is "no article" . It would simply be "English cannot make..." * Second Blank: "...make . . . . . . . . good coffee" We are referring to coffee in a general way. We are not talking about one specific coffee. Therefore, we need the article "the" . So the line now read as " make the good coffee". * Third Blank: "...leaving . . . . . . . . restaurant." Here, we assume that she left a specific restaurant she was *in*. She is *not* leaving just any restaurant. Therefore, we use the definite article "the" . The line would be "...leaving the restaurant". Therefore, the correct option is Option C: no article, the, the .
684: C
Solution: In the given sentence, the word, 'tonic' means 'a medicinal substance taken to give a feeling of vigour or well-being'. There are many 'tonics' in the world. 'Morning walk' is mentioned as one of them. As it refers to 'one of many' tonics, an indefinite article is used before the word, 'tonic'. The word 'exercise' is also used similarly. So, before the words, 'tonic' and 'exercise', an indefinite article is to be used. The choice between the indefinite articles, 'a' and 'an' is determined by the sound. Before a word beginning with a vowel sound, 'an' is used. Before a word beginning with a consonant sound, 'a' is used. The noun, 'tonic' begins with a consonant sound 't'. The noun 'exercise' begins with a vowel sound, 'e'. Hence, we use 'a' before 'tonic' (a tonic) and 'an' before 'exercise' (an exercise). The words, 'weak' and 'healthy' are adjectives. However, they are also sometimes used as nouns to refer to the entire class of people who are 'weak' and 'healthy' respectively. Hence, the definite article, 'the' is used before both these nouns.
685: B
Solution: 'An' is one of the articles and therefore indefinite article shall be used. The word after the blank begins with vowel sound. 'An' article will be used.

The cinema is specified to the one that's close to the restaurant, definite article of "the" will be used in the second blank. The restaurant is preceded by an adjective, thus a countable noun "a" will be used in the first blank.

712: D
Solution: No article is required to carry out the meaning of the sentence.

Solution: Macy is a department store on the 34 th Street in New York. No article is used before "Macy" because proper nouns, like names of businesses or people, usually do not need an article. "A" is used before "department store" because it refers to one store among many and introduces it as a general noun. The indefinite article is used when mentioning something for the first time. "The" is used before "34 th Street" because it refers to a specific and known location in New York. Streets usually take the definite article when they are well-known or identified specifically. Option A: no article, a, no article is incorrect because "34 th Street" needs the definite article "the". Option B: the, a, no article is incorrect because "Macy" does not require an article, and "34 th Street" needs "the". Option D: the, a, the is incorrect because "Macy" should not have "the" before it, as it is a proper noun.

The correct sentence is "Let us go to a restaurant and have coffee."

849: A

However, "church" is a bit different. We often use "church" without "the" when referring to it as a place of worship or religious activity. David's father is going to church for religious reasons, so we use "no article" . Therefore, the correct answer is Option A: the, no article .
850: C
Solution: In the given sentence, we are referring to the shops located in a specific place, the city center. Hence the noun 'shops' is specific for which we use the definite article 'the', option C is the correct option.

855: D
Solution: In the sentence "He fell and was taken to . . . . . . . . hospital", we need to consider whether we are talking about a specific hospital or just a hospital in general. When someone is injured and taken to "hospital", it is usually understood to mean the local hospital or a hospital for treatment . Therefore, it does not refer to a specific hospital that was previously mentioned. In British English , when referring to an institution like "hospital" in general, we don't usually use an article . Similarly we don't use an article for school or prison if we are the patient, student, or prisoner. Therefore, the correct answer is D: none of the above because no article is necessary in this sentence.
856: D
Solution: "An" is used before words that begin with a vowel sound , not just a vowel letter. "Orphan" begins with a vowel sound, so the correct article is "an" . "Heir" starts with a silent "h", and the word sounds like it begins with a vowel ("air"), so it also takes "an" . Therefore, the correct sentence is: You should adopt an orphan as an heir. Hence, the correct option is D: an, an
857: C
Solution: Option C is correct as 'The' is used with words with superlatives. 'Holiest' is superlative.
858: B
Solution: Indefinite articles 'a' or 'an' are used when the noun is not specific or the noun is common. 'Egg' is common noun and begins with vowel sound, thus takes 'an' article.

863: A
Solution: The restaurant is preceded by an adjective 'nice', thus a countable noun "a" will be used in the blank.

870: C
Solution: Here, 'all' indicates each and every student and therefore it is specific. Definite article 'the' is used with specific sentence.

Solution: 'An' is one of the articles and therefore indefinite article shall be used. The word after the blank begins with vowel sound. 'An' article will be used.
872: C

873: C
Solution: Article 'the' will be used because article 'the' is used with something unique (The Sun, The Moon, and The Earth).
874: C
Solution: The noun 'accident' is an indefinite, singular noun that begins with a vowel, hence the indefinite article 'an' is used. The second and third nouns, 'car' and 'tree' are not specified and they're mentioned for the first time, they're indefinite nouns. Both 'car' and 'tree' begin with a consonant, hence 'a' is the correct article for both. The noun 'driver' has not been mentioned before, but in the context of the sentence, the noun is specific because the driver belongs to that particular car and there can be only one single driver in one car. Hence the reader knows which driver is being spoken about, which is why 'the' is used. In the second sentence the noun 'car' is used twice. By then, we know which specific car is being referred to, hence 'the' is the correct article.
875: D
876: D

879: B
Solution: The first sentence has an 'old house' mentioned. It's not specified which house, it could be any old house, and hence an indefinite article is required. The phrase 'old house' begins with a vowel, so the article pertaining to such nouns is 'an' which is the correct answer. Similarly, 'small village' and 'beautiful garden' require an indefinite article 'a' since they both begin with a consonant. In the second sentence, 'house' is mentioned for the second time, by now we know which house is being referred to, hence we use 'the' and not 'a'. In the third sentence, 'garden' is not the same garden that the speaker's friends have, but just any garden like the one mentioned before. This means we're supposed to use 'a' in the last sentence. The option containing all these correct articles is option B.
880: A
Solution: Here, 'Cat' is a general class and therefore indefinite article will be used. Word after the blank starts without vowel sound. 'A' article will be used.

Solution: 'A' is used before singular nouns which are used in a general sense. Here, 'garden' is a singular noun used in a general sense and it begins with a consonant sound.
888: B
Solution: The noun 'interview' is non-specific because it's mentioned for the first time and is not followed by a clause that would further specify it. Hence an indefinite article is used. 'An' is an indefinite article used for the non-specific noun 'interview' that begins with the vowel 'i' hence option B is correct.
889: C

So we don't require any articles here also. Therefore 'no article' comes before 'most'. The word 'hotels' is used to refer to a particular place. So we'll use an article before 'hotels'.

Both the blanks shall take 'the' as the sentence talks about a particular time period (last fifty years, previous two hundred years).
970: C
Solution: Here, definite article 'the' will be used because the speaker gave specific 'money' that was found.
971: B
Solution: Here, the noun after the blank is common noun. Hence, indefinite article will be followed. 'An' is used because the word 'honest' sounds 'onest'.
972: A
Solution: 'A' should be used before words that are general and also has consonant sounds at the beginning and 'An' before words with vowel sounds at the beginning. The word 'University' has consonant sound 'yoo'. Hence, 'A' is used.
973: D
Solution: In the first blank, article "the" will be used because article 'the' is used with superlatives (best). In the second blank, article "a" will be used because article 'a' is used when speaker is making a general statement and mentioning something for the first time.
974: C
Solution: 'Blue one' indicates specificity about a particular shirt. Hence, definite article 'the' will be used.
975: B
976: D
Solution: No article is required.
977: C
Solution: Option C is correct as 'The' is used with words with superlatives. 'Best' is superlative.
978: A
Solution: 'Trouser' is general and unspecific. Indefinite article will be used. 'Black' begins with a consonant sound and therefore 'a' article will be used.
979: C
Solution: 'French' and 'Germans' refer to the entire class of people who are 'French' and 'Germans' respectively. Hence, definite article 'the' is used before both these nouns.
980: D
Solution: The nouns 'newspaper' and 'magazine' are mentioned for the first time in the first half of the sentence, they both are non specific as well as singular, hence we use the indefinite article 'a' for both. 'An' would not be used because both the nouns begin with a consonant and not a vowel. 'The' is used in the second half of the sentence because the nouns have already been mentioned before. Now they refer to specific nouns and hence we use the definite article 'the' for both nouns.
981: A
Solution: 'a' should be used before words with consonant sounds at the beginning and 'an' before words with vowel sounds at the beginning. The word 'United' has consonant sound 'yoo'. Hence, 'a' is used.

983: D
Solution: No article is required.
984: B
Solution: '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 'the' in both the blanks means a specific train which is the fastest. Moreover we use 'the' with the superlative adjective.
985: D
Solution: No article is required.
986: B
Solution: Both the blanks shall take 'a' as 'hotel' and 'town' are name of general places and start with a consonant.
987: B
Solution: Use 'an' before words such as "hour" or "honorary" which sound like they start with a vowel even if the first letter is a consonant. Also use 'an' before letters and numbers which sound like they begin with a vowel, such as "F" or "8".
988: B
Solution: "No article" will be used in the first blank because 'breakfast' is a meal and we do not use articles before the names of meals. In the second blank, the word "very" is irrelevant. "nice breakfast" takes a determiner, in this case "a".
989: B
Solution: Here, 'book' is a general class and therefore indefinite article will be used. Word after the blank i.e. 'interesting' starts with vowel sound. 'An' article will be used.
990: A
Solution: Even though the word 'one' begins with the vowel 'o', it's pronounced as 'won' and thus has the sound of consonant 'w'. Thus, we use 'a' instead of 'an'.
991: B
Solution: We use indefinite articles before singular nouns that are unspecific. Here, 'airport' in the first sentence is unspecific and begins with a vowel sound. Hence, it will take 'an' before it. We use the definite article 'the' before nouns that are specific. In the second sentence, we are referring to the specific airport that is nearest to the speaker's home. Hence, it will take 'the' before it.
992: B
Solution: Here, 'work' is a singular subject and therefore indefinite article will be used. The word after the blank begins with vowel sound. 'An' article will be used.

995: B
Solution: The correct answer is An . In this sentence, an is the correct article to use before the word "elephant" because "elephant" starts with a vowel sound, and the choice of the article is based on the sound, not the actual first letter.
996: D
Solution: Articles are not required while generalising a noun that is uncountable. Skiing is an activity and is spoken about in general here. Hence it does not need an article. Option D is correct.
997: C
Solution: When specific entity is talked about 'the' article is used. Here, almighty is a specific entity.
998: C
Solution: When specific entity is talked about 'the' article is used. In the first sentence, 'a' is used before 'telescope' because it's mentioned for the first time. In the last sentence, the correct answer should be 'the' because by then both the speaker and the listener know the identity of this noun. Hence Option C is the correct answer.
999: D
Solution: The first blank shall take 'the' as the sentence talks about a specific time while the other two blanks won't take any article as 'most people' is uncountable and 'agriculture' is the name of an activity.
1000: A
Solution: Here, the sentence talks about the 'waitress' as general class of people like the second person. Since we are referring to general things, we need to use the definite article 'a'.
1001: C

1002: C
Solution: 'The' is used before the plural forms of names of the countries/states. For example, 'The Netherlands, The United States of America.' The U.A.E is a combination of states and hence we use 'The' before 'U.A.E.'
1003: B
Solution: Use 'an' before words such as "hour" and "honest" which sound like they start with a vowel even if the first letter is a consonant. Also use 'an' before letters and numbers which sound like they begin with a vowel, such as "F" or "8".
1004: A

1009: A

1010: A
Solution: Here, lamp is not something specific. It is used in a general way. Article 'a' is used before a word beginning with a consonant sound.
1011: C

1018: C
Solution: In the first blank, 'Nature' is a proper noun and should not be preceded by any article. In the second blank, 'spring' is a specific season and time of the year. Hence, definite article 'the' will be used.
1019: C
Solution: Article 'the' is used before a specific, definite noun. The sentence given clearly states that a specific book is spoken about. Since a book has only one back, option C is correct.
1020: C
Solution: We use the definite article 'the' when the noun is followed by a clause or phrase which identifies it. In the given sentence, the 'doctor' is identified with the clause 'who has a clinic beside my home'. Option C is correct here since we are referring to a specific doctor.
1021: C
Solution: Even though both of these nouns: China and the Great Wall are proper nouns, the rules apply differently here. China is a country and we don't use an article before most countries (China being one of them). When the proper noun is unique and there is only one in existence, like 'Great Wall', 'the' article is used.
1022: D
Solution: England is a country and we don't use an article before most countries (England being one of them).
1023: C
Solution: In English grammar, the article "the" is used before titles when referring to a specific person holding a particular position. First blank: "President" is a unique title referring to a specific person, so "the" is used. Second blank: "S.D.O." (Sub-Divisional Officer) is also a specific designation, so "the" is required. Thus, the correct sentence is: The President and the S.D.O. is coming.
1024: A
Solution: Article 'a' is correct as we're speaking of one random day.
1025: A

1035: A
Solution: Indefinite articles 'a' or 'an' are used with nouns which are indefinite or general. They are used in a vague sense of a certain like to state a certain member of a group or class. Here in the given question, 'boy' denotes a group or class of people, therefore use of the indefinite article is appropriate. The choice between 'an' and 'a' is determined by the sound of the noun. Before a noun beginning with a vowel sound 'an' is used.
1036: A
Solution: '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.

1041: C
Solution: As 'honour' is not specific, we can't use 'the' (Because 'the' is definite article). 'H' in 'honour' is silent and we pronounce the word as - 'Oner'. Hence, we will use 'an' before the vowel sound. 'Invited' is an adjective which describes 'guest'. As the article has to be used before 'invited guest' and it is a singular noun, hence we will use 'an' ('invited' has a vowel sound, so 'an' is used).
1042: A
Solution: Here, 'man' is used for a general class of people. Indefinite article will be used. Even though the word 'one' begins with the vowel 'o', it's pronounced as 'won' and thus has the sound of consonant 'w'. Thus, we use 'a' instead of 'an'.

Solution: When was paper first made? In this context, "paper" is a general, uncountable noun referring to the material itself, rather than a specific piece of paper.

Option B: an is incorrect for the same reason as above
"an" is used before words starting with a vowel sound for singular countable nouns, which does not apply here. Option C: the is incorrect because "the" indicates specificity. Since we are discussing paper in general, not a specific type or piece of paper, no article is needed.
