Answer 1

The correct option is C the/the/a/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, article "the" will be used because the speaker is talking about a 'specific girl' .

In the second blank, article "the" will be used because the word 'farm' is a 'definite' place where she comes from.

In the third blank, article "a" will be used because the speaker is talking about something general.

In the fourth blank, article "the" will be used because here 'HOUSE' is a definite place.
