Question

Fill in the blank with the correct Article:
She is _______ world champion for _______ third year in succession.

• A. No Article...an
• B. the ... the
• C. an...a
• D. the...an

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Analyzing the Correct Articles 

The correct articles here are "the" for both blanks. The phrase "world champion" is specific and refers to a definite person, so "the" is required before it. Additionally, "the third year" refers to a specific, known event or time period, so "the" is also appropriate.

Step 2: Evaluating the Other Options

• "An" (Option C) and "No Article" (Option A) are incorrect because they do not fit the context of specificity.
• "The...an" (Option D) is incorrect because "an" is not suitable for the second blank in this context; "the" is the correct article.

Step 3: Conclusion

Thus, the correct phrase is: "She is the world champion for the third year in succession."
