Solution (By Examveda Team)
Let's look at the sentence: "... Children recited ... poem in ... honour of ... Prime Minister."We're talking about children in general, so we don't need an article.
We need an article before "poem" because it's a countable noun. Since "poem" starts with a consonant sound, we use "a".
"Honour" is an abstract noun, and we are talking about a specific type of honour (the honour of the Prime Minister), so we use "the".
Finally, there's only one Prime Minister, so we use "the" before "Prime Minister".
Therefore, the correct answer is D: the, a, the, the

Use of 'the' is wrong before honor.. because its pronounciation start with 'O' and h is silent.. And before vovel we always use 'An'.
Therefore An Honor is the correct usage..
If chilredn, prime minister and honour is specific.so, poem s/b specific also,
Here children can be any child likewise poem can be any poem.
It is wrong to say IN THE HONOUR OF. Here THE is not used. "A ceremony in honour of those killed in the explosion" - a phrase from Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary.
You can say "A state dinner was held in honour of the visiting Japanese premier", NOT "A state dinner was held in the honour of the visiting Japanese premier."
