Article MCQ Questions and Answers | English Aptitude MCQ

No article is required.

'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.

No article is required.

Both the blanks shall take 'a' as 'hotel' and 'town' are name of general places and start with a consonant.

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".

"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".

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.

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'.

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.

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.
