The given sentence "I bought a kitten yesterday" is grammatically correct. The use of the indefinite article "a" before the noun "kitten" is appropriate because the speaker is referring to a non-specific kitten, not a specific one. Therefore, the sentence is correctly using the articles.

The correct answer is "a; the". In this sentence, "a" is used before the word "beautiful" to indicate that the dress is one of many possible dresses. "The" is used before the word "dress" to indicate that the speaker is referring to a specific dress, the one that is pink.

In this sentence, the use of the indefinite articles "a" before "word" and "sound" is correct. The sentence is emphasizing the absence of any word or sound, indicating that none were spoken or made. The use of "a" before both nouns helps to convey this meaning.

The word "headache" is a countable noun, so it requires an article before it. In this case, the correct article to use is "a" because it indicates that Katya is having one specific headache, not a specific or particular headache. The use of "the" would imply that there is a specific headache that Katya is referring to, which is not the intended meaning in this sentence.

The correct answer is "an" because "Elvis Presley" starts with a vowel sound (/ɛ/), and when a noun starts with a vowel sound, we use the indefinite article "an" before it.

When a woman really makes her mind to marry a man, nothing on God's earth can save him.

The correct answer is "the" because it is used before "life" to indicate a specific life that has been chosen.
