2. He eats a lot of __________ meat.

Explanation

The correct answer is "No article" because when we use the phrase "a lot of," it is followed by an uncountable noun or a plural noun. In this case, "meat" is an uncountable noun, so we do not need to use an article before it.

Submit
3. I love living in this __________ city.

Explanation

The correct answer is "No article" because when we say "I love living in this city," we are referring to a specific city that the speaker is currently in or has a strong connection to. In this case, we do not need to use an article before the word "city" because it is being used as a general noun rather than a specific one.

Submit
4. He has always been __________ very good boy.

Explanation

The correct answer is "A" because when we use the adjective "good" before a noun, we generally use the indefinite article "a" before it. In this case, "a" is used to emphasize that he is a good boy in general, without specifying any particular boy.

Submit
5. __________ food that you cooked was very good!

Explanation

The correct answer is "The" because it indicates that the speaker is referring to a specific food that was cooked. The use of "the" suggests that both the speaker and the listener are aware of which food is being referred to, making it the most appropriate choice in this context.

Submit
6. Do you remember __________ girl that we saw last night?

Explanation

The use of "the" before "girl" suggests that the speaker and the listener have a specific girl in mind, possibly someone they have already discussed or mentioned before. It implies that there is a shared understanding between them about which girl they are referring to.

Submit
7. I've been waiting for __________ long time.

Explanation

The correct answer is "A" because the sentence is referring to an indefinite amount of time, rather than a specific or known amount of time. Therefore, the indefinite article "A" is used.

Submit
8. He knows how to treat __________ lady.

Explanation

The correct answer is "A" because the sentence is referring to a lady in general, not a specific lady. When we use the indefinite article "a," it implies that the speaker is referring to any lady, not a particular one.

Submit
9. P1: Did you go to the Thai restaurant?P2: No, I went to __________ place where you and I normally go.

Submit

Explanation

The correct answer is "The." This is because the sentence is referring to a specific jazz musician, Miles Davis, and the definite article "the" is used to indicate specificity.

Submit
13. Los Angeles has __________ ideal climate.

Explanation

The correct answer is "An" because the word "ideal" starts with a vowel sound, and we use the indefinite article "an" before words that begin with a vowel sound. In this case, "ideal" is pronounced with a long "i" sound, which is a vowel sound, so we use "an" before it.

Submit
14. I haven't seen him in __________ five years.

Explanation

The correct answer is "No article" because the phrase "in five years" does not require an article before it. The sentence is indicating a period of time, and when expressing a duration of time, we do not use an article before it.

Submit
15. Generally speaking, __________ boys are physically stronger than girls.

Explanation

The correct answer is "No article" because the sentence is making a general statement about boys in general, not referring to specific boys or a specific group of boys. When making generalizations or talking about things in a general sense, we do not use an article before the noun.

Submit
16. Let's play __________ volleyball.

Explanation

In this sentence, the correct answer is "No article" because when we use the word "play" with sports or games, we usually do not use an article before the name of the sport or game. Therefore, we say "play volleyball" without any article.

Submit
17. What would you like for __________ breakfast?

Explanation

The correct answer is "No article" because the question is asking for a preference or choice, rather than a specific item. When asking about preferences, we typically do not use an article before the noun.

Submit
18. __________ cell phones do not cause cancer.

Explanation

The phrase "No article" suggests that the correct answer is to not use any article before the word "cell phones" in the sentence. This implies that the sentence is making a general statement about cell phones not causing cancer, without specifying any particular cell phones.

Submit
19. Someone call __________ policeman!

Explanation

In the sentence, "Someone call A policeman!", the word "policeman" is preceded by the indefinite article "A". The indefinite article "A" is used before singular nouns when the noun is being mentioned for the first time or is not specific. In this case, "policeman" is a singular noun and it is not specified which policeman is being referred to, so the correct choice is "A".

Submit
20. Bill enjoys reading __________ mystery novels.

Explanation

The correct answer is "The" because it indicates that Bill enjoys reading a specific type of mystery novels, rather than any mystery novels in general. "The" is used to refer to something specific or known, and in this case, it suggests that Bill has a preference for a particular kind of mystery novels.
