Answer 1

Answer: (A)

the, the

1. An/A' is used as an indefinite article for a thing or person when the reader doesn't know which one we are referring to out of many nouns. It states the random nature of the subject.
2. 'The' is used as a definite article for a thing or person when the reader knows which one we are exactly referring to. It states the specific nature of the subject.
   

Option A is correct as 'The' is used with a word having a specific nature. Hence 'The Chandigarh Shatabdi Express' and 'The Rock Garden' implies two particular things that are unique. Option B 'A Rock Garden' is incorrect as it is used to signify one example of some kind of garden which is grammatically incorrect in context of the given sentence . Option C and Option D are incorrect as the first blank requires an article in order to give a proper sense to the sentence.
