• A. no article/a
• B. a/the
• C. a/no article
• D. the/a
• E. a/a

Answer 1

The correct option is B a/the

OPTION "B" is the correct answer.

EXPLANATION:

There are two types of articles:

DEFINITE ARTICLE (THE) : Article 'the' is used to refer to a DEFINITE thing or person.

INDEFINITE ARTICLE(A/AN): Article 'a/an' is used to refer to a thing or person in general. For instance: man, door etc.

Article 'a' is used with consonant sounds whereas article 'an' is used with vowel sounds.

In the first blank, article "a" will be used because speaker is making a general statement about a picture.

In the second blank, the speaker is specifically pointing out a specific wall, hence , article "the" will be used.
