3.   There is _______ owl on the tree.

The correct answer is "an" because the word "owl" begins with a vowel sound. In English grammar, we use "an" before words that start with a vowel sound, and "a" before words that start with a consonant sound.

4.   ______stars twinkle at night.

Explanation

The correct answer is "the" and "The". In this sentence, "stars" is a plural noun, so it requires the article "the" before it. "Twinkle" is a verb, so it does not require an article before it. "The" is capitalized because it is the first word of a new sentence.

Submit
5.   They go to school in ______ morning.

Explanation

The correct answer is "the" because the sentence is referring to a specific morning, indicating that the speaker is talking about a particular morning when they go to school. The definite article "the" is used to specify and identify a particular noun, in this case, the morning.
