Question

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
______ Latin America is on _______ south of America. [Intermediate]

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

Answer 1

The correct option is B no article/the

Option "B" 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, no article will be used because 'Latin America' is a country name and no article is used with country names.

In the SECOND blank, article "the" will be used because article "the" is used to indicate something specific or one ( South of America ).
