Article MCQ Questions and Answers | English Aptitude MCQ

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

Option A is the correct answer as 'a' is an indefinite article that can be used before a singular nonspecific noun that starts with a consonant, like 'biscuit'.

No article is required.

The first blank will be filled with the indefinite article 'a'. Though the word following the blank starts with the vowel 'u' but as the word 'university' starts with a consonant sound, 'a' shall be used in the first blank.
And whenever 'U.S.A.' is mentioned, the definite article 'the' comes before it.

In the first blank, article "a" will be used because speaker is making a general statement about a picture.
In the second blank, the speaker is specifically pointing out a specific wall, hence, article "the" will be used.

Let's look at each blank spot individually:
* First Blank: ". . . . . . . . English cannot make..."
Here, we are talking about the English people *in general*. When we talk about a nationality in general terms, we don't use an article (a, an, or the). So, the correct choice here is "no article". It would simply be "English cannot make..."
* Second Blank: "...make . . . . . . . . good coffee"
We are referring to coffee in a general way. We are not talking about one specific coffee. Therefore, we need the article "the". So the line now read as " make the good coffee".
* Third Blank: "...leaving . . . . . . . . restaurant."
Here, we assume that she left a specific restaurant she was *in*. She is *not* leaving just any restaurant. Therefore, we use the definite article "the". The line would be "...leaving the restaurant".
Therefore, the correct option is Option C: no article, the, the.

In the given sentence, the word, 'tonic' means 'a medicinal substance taken to give a feeling of vigour or well-being'. There are many 'tonics' in the world. 'Morning walk' is mentioned as one of them. As it refers to 'one of many' tonics, an indefinite article is used before the word, 'tonic'. The word 'exercise' is also used similarly. So, before the words, 'tonic' and 'exercise', an indefinite article is to be used.
The choice between the indefinite articles, 'a' and 'an' is determined by the sound. Before a word beginning with a vowel sound, 'an' is used. Before a word beginning with a consonant sound, 'a' is used. The noun, 'tonic' begins with a consonant sound 't'. The noun 'exercise' begins with a vowel sound, 'e'. Hence, we use 'a' before 'tonic' (a tonic) and 'an' before 'exercise' (an exercise).
The words, 'weak' and 'healthy' are adjectives. However, they are also sometimes used as nouns to refer to the entire class of people who are 'weak' and 'healthy' respectively. Hence, the definite article, 'the' is used before both these nouns.

'An' is one of the articles and therefore indefinite article shall be used. The word after the blank begins with vowel sound. 'An' article will be used.

In the first blank, 'cat' as a general class is mentioned. 'A' article will be used.
In the second blank, specific 'garden' where the cat is has been mentioned. Definite article 'the' will be used.

Here, 'man' is a general class and therefore indefinite article will be used. Word after the blank starts without vowel sound. 'A' article will be used.
