_______ primary task of ______ development is to eliminate ______ poverty.

• A. The / no article / no article
• B. no article / the / no article
• C. The / no article / the
• D. A / the / the

Answer 1

The correct option is A The / no article / no article

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 shall take 'the' as the sentence talks about a particular task(primary task). The second and third blank won't take any article as both 'development' and 'poverty' are not singular countable nouns.

The correct answer is A) The/ no article/ no article.

The primary task of development is to eliminate poverty.
