Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
In the first blank, "no article" or "zero article" will be used because no article is when there is "noun + number". In the given sentence, three shelters indicate noun + number.
In the second blank, article "the" will be used because article "the" indicates something specific and cliff is a definite noun.

He is . . . . . . . . honourable man in the locality.
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
'A' and 'An' are indefinite articles and 'the' is the only definite article in the English language. 'The' is used with reference to something specific such as a specific person or place. This sentence does not talk about a specific honourable man, hence 'the' will not be used.
'A' cannot be used with honourable because it begins with a vowel sound. By rules of grammar, 'an' is used before a word that begin with vowels or vowel sounds. The word honourable begins with a vowel sound (o) because H is silent, similar to the pronunciation of 'hour.' Hence, Option B 'an' is correct.
