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

Answer 1

The correct option is C the/the/the

OPTION "C" 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, the speaker is mentioning "fog" of a 'specific day', hence article "the" will be used.

Similarly, in the second and third blank, the speaker is mentioning the definite side and road respectively, hence article "the" will be used.
