Question

Choose the option that best corrects the sentence:

The Europe has many lakes and castles.

• A. Europe has many the lakes and castles.
• B. An Europe has many lakes and castles.
• C. Europe has many lakes and castles.
• D. NO CHANGE

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Europe has many lakes and castles.

'An/A' is used as an indefinite article for a thing or person when the reader doesn't know which one we are referring to out of many nouns. It states the random nature of the subject.

'The' is used as a definite article for a thing or person when the reader knows which one we are exactly referring to. It states the specific nature of the subject.

We don't use articles in front of names. Thus in the given sentence 'the Europe' needs to be changed. But in option A 'the lakes' is wrong. Similarly in option B 'an Europe' is also wrong. Thus option C is correct.
