Question

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
________ Lake Oregon is __________ large lake.

• A. The / a
• B. No article / a
• C. A / a
• D. No article / no article

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

No article / a

1. An/A' is used as an indefinite article for a thing or person when the reader doesn't know which one we are referring to out of many nouns. It states the random nature of the subject.
2. 'The' is used as a definite article for a thing or person when the reader knows which one we are exactly referring to. It states the specific nature of the subject.

Option B is correct as 'no article' is used with names usually and as 'A' is used with singular countable noun that are random in nature and has a consonant sound. Option A is incorrect as 'The' refers to a particular subject of which the reader is aware of. Here the readers don't know of it. Option C is incorrect because 'A Lake Orgeon' sounds illogical to bring out the meaning of the sentence. Option D is incorrect as an article is required in the second blank to bring out the meaning of the sentence.
