Key Points

•  An article is a word that is used to define if a noun is specific or not. 
• There are two categories of articles namely:
  • Definite article 'the' which is used to determine something that is specific or particular. 
  • Indefinite article 'a and an' which is used to indicate something that is not definite or specific. 
    • We use the indefinite article 'a' when the noun starts with a consonant and we use 'an' when the noun starts with a vowel. 
• In the sentence given above, the noun 'common language' is not specific or particular and is starting with a consonant so the correct option would be 'a'. 
• Hence, te correct answer is Option 2. 

The correct solution is 'a'. 

Key Points

•  An article in english grammar is a word which expresses whether a noun is specific or general. 
• There are two categories of article:
  • Definite article 'the' which is used for a noun that is specific in nature. 
  • Indefinite articles 'a and an' which are used for nouns that are not specific in nature. 
    • The Article 'a' is used for nouns starting with a consonant and the article 'an' is used for nouns starting with a vowel. 
• In the given sentence above, the noun phrase 'sustainable future' is not a specific noun and begins with  a consonant so the correct article would be 'a'.
• Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

The correct answer is Option 1) i.e. A.

Explanation:

• Articles are words that define a noun as specific or unspecific.
• Whereas the article 'a' is used with the name of things that are not specific.
• The article 'an' is used with the words having 1st letter as a vowel and having the sound of a vowel.
• Any abbreviation having the sound of a vowel will be preceded by the article 'an'.
• For example:
  • He is a MLA.
  • He is an MLA.
• According to the rule and the example given above, 'an' will be used instead of 'a' in the 1st part of the sentence.

Correct Sentence: Karun has an X-ray machine which is very significant for him due to many reasons.

• ​​​If a word starts with a vowel but has the sound of a consonant, it will be preceded by the article 'a'.
• Example: a university, a union, a one rupee note, etc.

The correct answer is 'the'

Key Points

• We use the superlative article ' the' when we specifically mention the comparison between more than two entities or when the entire group or its numbers is particularly mentioned.

Correct sentence- She is the most diligent employee, and I will recommend her name for promotion.​

The correct answer is a.

Key Points​​

• The article 'a' is used with the name of things that are not specific.
• The article 'an' is used with the words starting with the sound of a vowel.
• ​​​If a word starts with a vowel but has the sound of a consonant, it will be preceded by the article 'a'.
• Example: a university, a union, a one rupee note, etc.
• In the given blank part of the sentence, the article 'a' will be used as the adjective 'scenic' starts with a consonant sound.
   

Correct Sentence: The village possesses a scenic beauty.

The correct answer is Option 1) i.e. A.

• As per the rule and example given above, 'The milk cake' will be used instead of 'Milk cake' in the 1st part of the sentence.
• The article 'the' is used because the milk cake of a specific place is being talked about.

Correct Sentence: The milk cake of Alwar is known for its superior quality and authenticity.

• 'The' is often used before the superlative degree.

​Articles are words that define a noun as specific or unspecific. (ऐसे शब्द जो किसी संज्ञा को विशिष्ट या अविशिष्ट के रूप में परिभाषित करते हैं।)

• Indefinite articles- a, an.
• Definite articles- the.
• The definite article 'the' is used with the name of things that are unique or already mentioned before.
• Whereas the article 'a' is used with the name of things that are not specific.
• The article 'an' is used with the words having 1st letter as a vowel and having the sound of a vowel.
• For example:​
  • ​I met a person on my way to the office. The person turned out to be an old friend.
• Since the given noun 'hour' has the sound of a vowel, the article 'an' will be used here.

Correct Sentence: "The teacher has been teaching for an hour."

Hinglish

• Indefinite articles- a, an.
• Definite articles- the.
• निश्चित लेख 'the' का प्रयोग उन चीजों के नाम के साथ किया जाता है जो unique हैं या पहले ही उल्लेख की जा चुकी हैं।
• जबकि लेख 'a' का प्रयोग उन चीजों के नाम के साथ किया जाता है जो specific नहीं हैं।
• लेख 'an' का प्रयोग उन शब्दों के साथ किया जाता है जिनमें vowel के रूप में पहला अक्षर होता है और स्वर की ध्वनि होती है।
• उदाहरण के लिए:
  • ​I met a person on my way to the office. The person turned out to be an old friend.
• चूंकि दी गई संज्ञा 'hour' में स्वर की ध्वनि है, इसलिए यहां 'an' पद का प्रयोग किया जाएगा।

Correct Sentence: "The teacher has been teaching for an hour."

The correct answer is option 2.

 The indefinite article ‘a’ is used with the words a lot of, a couple, a great many, a good deal of, a good many, a great deal of, a few, a little, etc. when they mean ‘some amount’ and ‘a small number’.

The correct sentence is: With a little patience you will be able to cross this obstacle.

The error lies in part c; remove article "a" from violence.

Key Points

• Indefinite Articles (a/an) are not used before the followings-
  • Means of transportation, Proper noun, Uncountable noun, Meals, Adjectives, Material nouns, Games and Sports, Avocations(Hobbies), Language, Subject and Science. 
• In the sentence given, article "a" will be removed due to uncountable noun "violence"
• ​Nouns ending with "-ence, -ance, -sion, -hood, -ity/ty" are always uncountable.
  • Eg- violence, clearance, compassion, childhood, honesty.

Correct Sentence- Naxalites kill the innocent to spread violence.

The correct answer is option 1.

We do not use an article for a plural, indefinite noun and always think of a plural, indefinite noun as meaning 'all'.

The correct sentence is: Students should study hard for their examination.

The error lies in part a; remove article "a" before very difficult

• Indefinite Article is always used for Noun
• Thumb Rule- If there is no noun, there will be no Indefinite article.
• Examples-
  • He is a very good.❌
  • He is very good.✔️   (OR) 
  • He is a very good boy.✔️ (Here article "a" is correct because its noun- boy is present in the sentence)
• In the sentence given, difficult is an adjective and not a noun, hence the article 'a' will be removed.

Correct sentence- It is very difficult to find out the number of creatures living on the earth.

The error lies in part B

• Remove 'the' before 'head boy'
• We omit article "the" before the names of the posts/offices if there are- 
      verbs like “appoint, elect, select, declare etc.” as:
• She was elected President in November.

Similarly, the correct sentence would be- The committee will appoint him Head Boy for the year 2020.
