Answer 1

Hint:First we must know all the uses of given words. Choose the option which will be grammatically correct for the given sentence and also we must see that the selected option will make the sentence meaningful.

Complete step-by-step answer:
The above given sentence is required to be corrected and even we need to see whether we can use articles to complete and correct the sentence.
Let’s first know the articles. Articles are the words that define a subject, the, a, and an, are three articles. There are some criteria for using the articles. An is used before any vowel sound and a is used with consonant sound whereas ‘the' is used to define some specific and unspecific nouns.
Now let’s examine and understand the above given options and find the appropriate option
An/no article/no article: as per the explanation ‘an' is used with vowel sounds but in the sentence fried rice doesn’t have vowel sound, it has a consonant sound. So this is an inappropriate option for this sentence.
An/the/no article: as we know ‘an’ is used with vowel sound and in a given sentence ‘fried' is a consonant sound so we can’t use ‘An’ here. It’s not even an appropriate answer for the given sentence.
No article/a/the: in the second line of this sentence green salad is written, we can’t use ‘a’ here because this is a particular salad which is not countable. So it’s an inappropriate option.
A/an/the: in the second line of this sentence green salad is written, we can’t use ‘an’ here because the word green doesn’t have a vowel sound. To add the article ‘an’ there must be a vowel sound. So it’s an inappropriate option.
No article/no article/ no article: option (A) is absolutely an appropriate option because in the given sentence the subjects Fried chicken, Green salad and Back Coffee don’t require any article, even if we add any article, other given options don’t match.

Note:For choosing the correct option knowing actual meaning of the given question is necessary or else our sentence can be grammatically incorrect.
To understand such questions the study of ‘Article’ in English grammar is required so that we can write correct sentences. We should practice more and more in order to inculcate them.
