Article MCQ Questions and Answers | English Aptitude MCQ

No article is required.

Here, there is one particular doctor who treated Thomas' uncle and so we need to use the definite article 'the'.

The indefinite article comprise 2 forms. "a" when it precedes a word starting with a "consonant", & "an" when it precedes a word starting with a "vowel". The indefinite article denotes the noun is a general idea instead of a specific thing.
In the above we used "a", indefinite article, before the word "mistake" since the word starts with a consonant and it does not specify or restrict the meaning of the word.

No article is required to carry out the meaning of the sentence.

'Death' and 'Country' are specific while 'great scientist' and 'great loss' are general in the sentence. 'The' article is used before specific words and 'A' article is used before general words having consonant sound at the beginning.

'A' is used before singular, unspecific nouns which begin with a consonant sound. It is also used to refer to 'one' object/thing/person. 'Week' here is unspecific since September has four weeks and it is not mentioned which week is referred to here.

'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 C is correct as 'The' is used with a word having a specific nature. Hence 'The Andaman and Nicobar Islands' implies a particular place.

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

Here, the noun after the blank is common noun. Hence, indefinite article will be followed. 'An' is used because the word 'honest' sounds 'onest'.
