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

Answer 1

The correct option is A A/the/the

Option "A" 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 article "a" is used when the speaker is mentioning something for the first time or the speaker is making a general statement about any such thing.

In the second blank, article "the" will be used because article "the" is used to refer to something specific. Here, it is written that the room is specifically the 'reading room'.

Similarly, in the third blank, it is specifically mentioned that the library is 'public'. Therefore, article "the" will be used.
