Article MCQ Questions and Answers | English Aptitude MCQ

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.

Conclusion: The correct answer is Option C: no article, a, the, as it follows the correct usage of articles for proper nouns, general nouns, and specific locations.

The correct answer is Option D because we don't use an article when the object follows the preposition "by".

In the first blank, article "the" will be used because article 'the' is used with superlatives (shortest).
In the second and fourth blank, article "the" will be used because 'world' is a proper noun. There is only one 'world'.
In the third blank, article "the" will be used because "tallest" is superlative and article 'the' is used with superlatives.
In the fifth blank, no article or 'zero article' will be used because 'Africa' is a country and no article is used before a country name.

Both 'servant' and 'room' are specific in the sentence. Definite article 'the' will be used.

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

In the given sentence, the speaker is referring to a boy who is standing in a particular position in a particular row i.e. "the fourth position in the third row".

Option A is the only option which indicates the use of the article 'the' in both the blanks and is the correct option.

No article is required.

'The' is used to indicate a specific thing or person. Here, the speaker is talking about the specific key which opens the door to the house.
