Correct Answer
the/the

Explanation
The use of "the" before both "blue T-shirt" and "red one" suggests that the speaker is referring to specific items. This indicates that the speaker has already mentioned or pointed out the blue T-shirt and the red one, and is now expressing a preference for the blue T-shirt over the red one.

Their car does 150 miles________hour.

Correct Answer
an

Explanation
The correct answer is "an" because the word "hour" starts with a vowel sound. In English, we use "an" before words that begin with a vowel sound, and "a" before words that begin with a consonant sound. Since "hour" is pronounced with a silent "h," it has a vowel sound at the beginning, so we use "an" before it.
