Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
There is a lot of ice in _________ refrigerator.

• A. a
• B. the
• C. an
• D. no article

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

the

1. 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.
2. '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.
   

Option B is correct as 'The' would indicate a specific refrigerator which the reader knows of. Option C is incorrect because 'An' is used with a word having a vowel sound to indicate a single countable noun which is random in nature. Option A is incorrect as 'A' is used for words with a consonant sound. But, A refrigerator implies any random refrigerator. Option D is incorrect as an article is required to carry out the meaning of the sentence.
