Question

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
He sat down at _______ piano and played _______ piece that he had played in the morning.

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

Answer 1

The correct option is C 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, article "the" will be used because article "the" is used to refer to something specific ( piano ).

In the second blank, the 'piece' is specific, hence, article "the" will be used.
