• A. the,the
• B. the,a
• C. a,a
• D. a,the

Answer 1

Answer:

D. a,the

• English has two articles: the and a/an.
• The is used to refer to specific or particular nouns; a/an is used to modify non-specific or non-particular nouns.
• the = definite article
• a/an = indefinite article

• a + singular noun beginning with a consonant: a boy; a car; a bike; a zoo; a dog

• The definite article is used before singular and plural nouns when the noun is specific or particular. The signals that the noun is definite, that it refers to a particular member of a group. For example:

  “The dog that bit me ran away.” Here, we’re talking about a specific dog, the dog that bit me.
