Article MCQ Questions and Answers | English Aptitude MCQ

In the first blank, article "an" will be used because 'hour' starts with a vowel sound.
Similarly, in the second blank, 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.
In the third blank, "no article" or "zero article" because 'no article' is preceded when preposition like 'of' or 'at' is used.

Option C is correct as 'The' is used with words with superlatives. 'Largest' is superlative.

No article is required.

'The' is used before the plural forms of names of the countries/states. For example, 'The Netherlands, The United States of America.' The USA is a combination of states and hence we use 'The' before 'USA'.

'A' and 'An' are indefinite articles and are used before singular countable nouns.
'A' is used before words which begin with a consonant sound.
'An' is used before words which begin with a vowel sound.
In the given sentence, the word 'owl' begins with a vowel sound.

In the first blank, article "the" will be used because "West End" is a definite place.

In the third blank, article "the" will be used because 'capital' is a definite place.

The given sentence talks about 'bravery' of Lakshmi Bai being praiseworthy. When a particular noun is being used with an adjective, article 'the' is supposed to be used before the adjective to indicate specificity. So, here the adjective is 'bravery' and the noun is 'Lakshmi Bai'. So, the article to fill in the blank is 'the'.

Option C is correct as 'The' is used with words with superlatives. 'Most' is superlative.

The noun here is nonspecific and singular, the 'question' could be any question, not a particular one. Hence we use indefinite article, particularly 'a', since the noun begins with a consonant.

Here, the sentence talks about the 'dancer' as general class of people like 'Rohit'. Since we are referring to general things, we need to use the indefinite article 'a/an'. The word 'excellent' starts with a vowel sound and therefore 'an' will be used.
