• A. The, the
• B. No article required, no article required
• C. No article required, the
• D. The, no article required

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

No article required, the

An indefinite article is used when we are talking generally about something whereas a definite article is used when we are talking about something specific.

The indefinite articles are 'a' and 'an'. An is used before a word starting with a vowel or vowel sound.

The first blank shall not take any article as 'Corsica' is the name of a place whereas the second blank shall take 'the' because Mediterranean' is the name of a sea.

'Corsica is an island in the Mediterranean sea.'

The correct answer is option C)No article required, the.
