Question

Match the blanks in List I with suitable Articles in List II: 

List I	List II
A. ______ BBC is starting a new campaign.	IV. the
B. Everyone was born by ______ definition.	I. No article
C. The COVID Pandemic is ______ universal problem.	III. a
D. ______ heart of the UNESCO heritage site.	II. an

• A. A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I
• B. A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I
• C. A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
• D. A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I

Hint:

Articles (a, an, the) specify whether a noun is general or specific. "The" is for specific nouns; "a/an" for general, singular nouns; and no article is often used with general plurals or uncountable nouns.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To correctly match the blanks in List I with suitable articles from List II, consider the rules for article usage:

• Articles "a" and "an" are used with singular nouns. "An" is used before a word beginning with a vowel sound.
• Article "the" is used for specific nouns that are already known to the listener/reader.
• No article is used for certain proper nouns or when speaking in general terms about uncountable nouns.

Let's match each sentence in List I with the appropriate article from List II:

List I	List II
A. ______ BBC is starting a new campaign.	I. No article
B. Everyone was born by ______ definition.	IV. the
C. The COVID Pandemic is ______ universal problem.	III. a
D. ______ heart of the UNESCO heritage site.	II. an

• A-II: "BBC" is a proper noun and does not need an article, so no article ("I. No article") is correct.
• B-IV: "The definition" is specific, so "the" is appropriate.
• C-III: "A universal problem" uses "a" because "universal" begins with a "y" sound, not a vowel sound.
• D-I: The sentence begins with "heart," which is specific in this context, so "the" is appropriate.

Therefore, the correct match is A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I.
