👁 3 views
Correct Option: C  [ an ] Stored explanation

Explanation:
Explanation
  • Fill blank with an because “end” starts with a vowel sound; we use an before vowel sounds.
Grammar rule: Use a before consonant sounds, an before vowel sounds, and the for specific items; zero article is for general or plural nouns when no article is needed. Why others are wrong
  • A) the – refers to a specific end, not a known one here.
  • B) a – incorrect before a vowel sound.
  • D) No article – incorrect for a countable, indefinite noun.

👁 4 views
Correct Option: D  [ the ] Stored explanation

Explanation:
Explanation
  • Correct answer: D (the) – Use the definite article the before a noun phrase that refers to a specific, known quality. Here, “the scenic beauty” means the village’s own specific beauty that is known or identified.
  • Rule – Articles: a/an = non-specific (singular count); the = specific/known; zero article = general statements or plurals/uncountables.
  • Why others are wrong:
    • A some – non-specific quantity,Unnatural with “possesses” here.
    • B a / C an – would imply a single beauty, awkward for uncountable “beauty.”

👁 2 views
Correct Option: A  [ the ] Stored explanation

Explanation:
Explanation
  • This is the boy whom I saw yesterday.
  • The is used for a specific person already known to both speakers.
  • A or An would be for a non-specific boy (indefinite).
  • Zero article is not needed here because a specific boy is identified.
Rule: Use the for a known or unique noun; a/an for non-specific nouns; no article (zero) in general plural or after certain determiners.
Correct: the. Incorrect options: a/an/none of these are not suitable here.

Q14. At last _______ justice has been done to the accused.

  • an
  • a
  • no article is needed
👁 3 views
Correct Option: D  [ no article is needed ] Stored explanation

Explanation:
Explanation:
  • Correct answer: D) no article is needed.
  • Rule: Abstract/uncontable nouns like justice often take zero article when talking generally (no specific instance).
  • In "At last justice has been done to the accused," the statement is general, not referring to a particular justice.
  • A/An or The would be incorrect here: a/an wrong for an uncountable noun; the would imply a specific, identifiable justice.

Q15. There is _______ great deal of confusion here.

  • a
  • the
  • an
  • no article is needed
👁 1 views
Correct Option: A  [ a ] Stored explanation

Explanation:
Explanation in simple English
  • Correct answer: a.
  • We say “a great deal of …” to mean a large amount of something in general. “Great deal” is treated as a singular amount, so we use a before it.
  • Grammar rule: use a or an before a singular count noun or phrase starting with a consonant/vowel sound, respectively, when you mean one instance of something. Use the for a specific thing, and no article for general plurals or uncountables.
  • Why other options are wrong: the implies a specific deal; an is wrong before “great deal”; no article is incorrect with a singular quantified phrase.

Explanation:
Explanation (in simple English):
  • Correct answer: the. We use the for a specific church that is known to both speaker and listener.

    • A (an): Incorrect before church (starts with a consonant sound) and not needed here.
