Question

State whether true or false.

The flower near the window is wilting.
The underlined article in the sentence is an indefinite article.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

An indefinite article is used to modify a noun that is not specific, its identity is not known. There are two indefinite articles, 'a' and 'an'. The underlined word 'the' is a definite article, which modifies a noun that is specific or made specific by a phrase or clause that identifies it. The noun 'window' is made specific by the clause 'the flower near...is wilting', so the definite article 'the' is used. Hence option A is incorrect and option B is correct.
