  A
- B.
  
  An
- C.
  
  The
- D.
  
  Nothing
Correct Answer
C. The

The use of "the" before "Japanese language" suggests that the speaker is referring to a specific Japanese language, implying that there is only one Japanese language. This implies that the Japanese language is difficult to learn in general, rather than just one specific aspect or dialect of the language.

Explanation
The correct answer is "the" because it is used to refer to a specific noun, in this case, the piano. "The" is used when the noun being referred to is already known or has been mentioned before. Since it is specified that he is good at playing the piano, it implies that there is a specific piano that he is good at playing.

Correct Answer
A. Nice a

Explanation

Correct Answer
D. the --- ___

Explanation
The correct answer is "the --- ___". In this sentence, the first blank should be filled with "the" because it refers to a specific daytime that the person is used to sleeping in. The second blank is left empty because it is not necessary to include an article before "night" in this context.

Correct Answer
A. An --- a

Explanation
The correct answer is "an --- a" because the word "hour" begins with a vowel sound, so it is appropriate to use the article "an" before it. However, the word "half" begins with a consonant sound, so it is appropriate to use the article "a" before it.
