_______ milk is good for you. Why don't you drink _______ milk in your glass?

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

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

No article / the

An indefinite article is used when we are talking generally about something whereas a definite article is used when we are talking about something specific.

The indefinite articles are 'a' and 'an'. An is used before a word starting with a vowel or vowel sound. A is used before a word starting with a consonant or consonant sound.

A definite article is an article that tells the uniqueness of something.

'The' is the only definite article.

The first blank won't take any article as milk is an uncountable noun and is generally talked about. The second blank shall take 'the' as the speaker is directing the attention of the listener to a particular glass which has milk kept in it.

The correct answer is option B) No article / the.

Milk is good for you. Why don't you drink the milk in your glass?
