______ Amazon is _______ longest river in the World.

• A. The / the
• B. No article / the
• C. No article / no article
• D. The / no article

Answer 1

The correct option is A The / 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 A is correct as 'The' refers to a particular subject of which the reader is aware of. 'The' is also used with superlative form. The Amazon shows the uniqueness of the subject. Option C is incorrect because articles are required to bring out the meaning of the sentence. Option D is incorrect as 'The' is'The' is used with superlative form of adjective. Option B is incorrect as 'Amazon' alone doesn't show the uniqueness of the subject.
