Question

Fill in the blanks with the most suitable articles:
____ ice floats on ___ water.

• A. The, the
• B. An, a
• C. The, an
• D. No article, no article

Answer 1

The correct option is D No article, no article

The use of an article is omitted before names of substances (uncountable noun). Both the words, 'ice' and 'water' are substances which are uncountable nouns. Hence, no article is to be used before both the words. Option D is the correct answer

Options A, B and C are all incorrect as each of them indicates use of one article or the other for the uncountable nouns
