Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable article-
“Which cinema are you going to this evening?”
‘_ _ _ _ _ _ Classic Cinema'. (A specific place)
a) A
b) An
c) The
d) No article

Answer 1

Hint:Articles are used before nouns or noun equivalents and are a type of adjective. The definite article (the) is used before a noun to indicate that the identity of the noun is known to the reader.

Complete answer:
The indefinite article (a, an) is used before a noun that is general or when its identity is not known. The definite article (the) is used before a noun to indicate that the identity of the noun is known to the reader. There are also certain situations where the noun takes no article. In the given question we are asked to fill in the blank with a suitable article.
Now, let us examine all the given option to find out the correct answer :
Option ‘a’ is A. It is used before a singular noun beginning with the constant sound. It is used when the specific identity of the noun is not known.
Option ‘b’ is An. It is used before a singular noun beginning with a vowel sound. It is used when the specific identity of the noun is not known.
Option ‘c’ is The. It is used before a singular or a plural noun whose identity is known to the reader.
Option ‘d’ is No article. No article is used when all things or general things are used with the nouns. Here, this option has to be used only if all the other three articles are not suitable for the given blank.
As we have analyzed all the given options, we can easily figure out the correct answer. Here, the correct article is – The. The complete sentence would be – The Classic Cinema. Hence, option ‘c’ is the correct option.

Note:
Don’t confuse between ‘a’ and ‘the’. The cinema is already known to the people so ‘a’ cannot be used in the place of ‘the’ for the given question.
