Answer 1

Answer: (C)

no article / the / 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. A is used before a word starting with a consonant or consonant sound.

A definite article is an article that tells the uniqueness of something.

'The' is the only definite article.

The first blank won't take any article as 'Japanese' is the name of a language. The second and third blank shall take 'the' as the speaker talks about a particular group of people( Japanese) speaking in a particular manner.

The correct answer is C) no article/ the /the.

Do you think that I could learn Japanese the way the Japanese speak it?
