Question

Fill using appropriate articles:

A : It was ________ nice day yesterday, wasn't it?
B : Yes, it was beautiful. We went for a walk by _______ sea.

• A. a ; the
• B. the ; a
• C. a ; a
• D. the ; the

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

a ; the

'A' is used before singular nouns used in a general sense. 'Day' is a singular noun and is used in a general sense in the first sentence. Hence, we will use 'a' before 'nice day'. 'The' is used before unique/specific things. There is only one sea, hence it is unique. Therefore, the correct option is: a ; the.
