_______ questions Ann asked always seemed to be ________ questions to which Paul knew _______ answers.

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

Answer 1

The correct option is D the/no article/the

OPTION "D" 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 here questions are definite ( asked by Ann ).

In the second blank, "no article" or zero article will be used because no article is used to refer to something already known.

In the third blank, article "the" will be used because here the word 'answers' denotes a definite term.
