Answer 1

Answer: (C)

the/the

OPTION "C" 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, article "the" will be used because article 'the' is used with definite things. "Queen Mary" is the name of a specific ship.

In the SECOND blank, article "the" will be used because article 'the' is used with superlatives.
