Article MCQ Questions and Answers | English Aptitude MCQ

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'.

Article "the" will be used because (only musician) something specific has been mentioned.

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 "F" or "8".

In the first blank, article "the" will be used because they are discussing a specific day (DEFINITE) when the weather was raining. Therefore, a/an is incorrect.
In the second blank, article "a" will be used as the speaker is mentioning about the event for the first time.

Article "the" will be used because they are discussing about a specific river (DEFINITE) whose water is not fit for drinking.

The correct article is "a" because the word "long" begins with a consonant sound.

"A" is used before words that start with a consonant sound, regardless of whether the first letter is a vowel or consonant.

In this case, "long" starts with the consonant sound /l/, so we say "a long time".

Using "an" would be incorrect because it is used before vowel sounds.

"The" is used when referring to something specific or previously mentioned, which is not the case here.

No article is not suitable because "a long time" is an indefinite period and requires an article.

Since the speaker is referring to a specific house, we need to use the definite article 'the'.

The blank shall take 'a' as 'book' is singular countable noun and starts with the consonant 'b'.

As 'Kalidas' is compared with a specific person 'Shakespeare', 'the' article will be used.

For this sentence, we use 'the' as the sentence tells that for definite or a particular help the speaker was thanked.
