. . . . . . . . Sagar Samrat is . . . . . . . . big ship.

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The correct answer is Option C: The, the

First, let's define the grammatical concept of articles. Articles are words (a, an, the) that precede nouns and modify them. "A" and "an" are indefinite articles, used before singular countable nouns when the noun is not specific. "The" is a definite article, used before a noun that is specific or has been previously mentioned.

The sentence is: ". . . . . . . . Sagar Samrat is . . . . . . . . big ship."

"Sagar Samrat" is the name of a specific ship. Therefore, it requires the definite article "the". This is similar to using "the" before proper nouns like "the Taj Mahal" or "the Amazon River".

Since "Sagar Samrat" is a specific ship, the second blank must also use the definite article "the" because it refers to that same, already identified, big ship. Using "a" would imply there are many big ships and we are discussing just one of them without specifying which. We are talking about a particular ship: the Sagar Samrat and its quality of being big. Hence "the" is appropriate in both instances.

Why other options are incorrect:

Option A (A, the): Incorrect because "Sagar Samrat," being a proper noun referring to a specific ship, needs "the," not "a".

Option B (The, a): Incorrect because using "a" before "big ship" is contradictory; we are already talking about a specific ship ("Sagar Samrat"), so "a big ship" doesn't fit. We are not introducing a generic big ship.

Option D (A, a): Incorrect for the same reason as Option B; it uses indefinite articles inappropriately when referring to a specific, named ship.
