2. Please meet me at the train station in...... hour from now. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "An". In this sentence, the word "hour" begins with a vowel sound, so we use the indefinite article "an" before it. This is a rule in English grammar that states we use "an" before words that begin with a vowel sound, and "a" before words that begin with a consonant sound.

Submit
3. ....... President of the United States will be visiting Australia next week. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "The". In this sentence, "President of the United States" is a unique and specific title, so it requires the definite article "the" before it. Additionally, the sentence mentions that the visit will happen "next week," indicating a specific time in the future, which also requires the use of the definite article "the" before "President of the United States."

Submit
4. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw ...... elephant crossing the road in front of my school yesterday. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "An" because the word "elephant" starts with a vowel sound. In English, when a noun begins with a vowel sound, we use the indefinite article "an" instead of "a".

6. Hello! My name is Carl. I haven't anything to do tonight, so if you're not busy, would you like to watch..... movie or something with me.

7. Can you please go to ...... grocery store on Fifth Street and buy 2 cartons of milk ?

The correct answer is "The". In this sentence, the speaker is referring to a specific grocery store on Fifth Street. Therefore, the definite article "The" is used to indicate that the speaker has a specific store in mind.

Submit
8. Can you please help me pick out..... birthday present for my father ?  

Explanation

The correct answer is "A". In this sentence, the speaker is asking for help in picking out a birthday present for their father. "A" is used before a singular noun when it is not specific or known. Since the speaker is looking for any birthday present, "A" is the appropriate choice.

Submit
9. I am allergic to ..... smoke. 

Explanation

In this sentence, the speaker is referring to smoke in general, rather than a specific type of smoke. When talking about things in general or in a non-specific way, we use "no article" (also known as zero article). Therefore, the correct answer is "No Article."

Submit
10. How much will it cost to go on ...... holiday to Bali ? 

Explanation

The correct answer is "A". This is because the word "holiday" is preceded by the indefinite article "a" which indicates a non-specific holiday to Bali. The indefinite article is used when referring to something in a general or non-specific sense.
