Question

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
______ night being sharp and frosty, we trembled from ______ foot to ______ head. [Intermediate]

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

Answer 1

The correct option is B the/no article/no article

The statement is talking about a particular night that was sharp and frosty, and thus the definite article "the" will be used. With this logic, C, D and E cannot be the answers.

Here we are talking about foot and head in general, to form a metaphor, and indicate the intensity of the situation, thus no articles will be used before them.

B is the answer.
