Question

Use an appropriate article:

I like ____ skiing but I'm not very good at it. [Advanced]

• A. a
• B. an
• C. the
• D. no article

Answer 1

The correct option is D no article

Articles are not required while generalizing a noun that is uncountable. Skiing is an activity and is spoken about in general here. Hence it does not need an article. Option D is correct. Articles 'a' and 'an' are generally not used for uncountable nouns and they're both incorrect here. The article 'the' is not used for a non-specific noun, as is the case here, so this option is incorrect as well.
