Answer 1

Answer: (A)

no article/no article/no article

OPTION "A" 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, "no article" or "zero article" will be used because no article is used before meals' name ( fried chicken).

Similarly, In the second blank, "no article" or "zero article" will be used because no article is used with food names ( green salad).

In the third blank, "no article" or "zero article" will be used because no article is used before food names' (dessert).
