Question

Tap the correct option to fill in the blank.

'Queen Victoria, whose reign defined ___ Victorian Era, was born in __ 1819.'

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

Answer 1

The correct option is A the, no article

The definite article 'the' is used before a significant period of time. Since this sentence mentions a significant period of time 'Victorian Era', it will take the article 'the' before 'Victorian Era'. However, since no time noun is mentioned before '1819', the definite article 'the' won't be placed before '1819'.
