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

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The / 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 specific day's weather i.e. the day before's. The second blank shall not take any article as when 'home' is used alone,i.e. not preceded or followed by a descriptive phrase or word, the is omitted.

The correct option is A)The / no article.

The weather was terrible yesterday, so we spent all day at home.
