Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
I remember an episode in _______ my life when I had to spend _______ month in the country.

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

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

no article/a

OPTION "D" 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, "my" is a possessive adjective, therefore, "no article" will be used.

In the second blank, "month" is a common noun, therefore, article "a" will be used.
