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 "H" or "8". First blank will take 'An'. As watch identity is known we will use 'the' in the second blank.

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.

Here, two rivers are specifically talked about. Hence, 'the' article will be used.

The first blank shall be filled in by 'the' as the sentence talks about a particular striped animal. In general, there are many striped animals but as the speaker/writer has already mentioned 'tiger', we need not use 'the' in the second blank.

In the first blank, article "a" will be used because here pity is being used in the general sense (a cause for regret or disappointments) and it is considered to be countable (general) noun.
In the second blank, article "a" will be used because 'year' is a common noun and has a consonant sound.

In the first blank, article "a" will be used as 'foreign country' is a common noun.

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.
