Question

The rose smells sweet.
The underlined article in the sentence is a definite article.
a)True
b)False

Answer 1

Hint: A definite article is a determiner which introduces a phrase or word, and implies that the thing mentioned has already been mentioned, or is public knowledge, or is near to be defined. ‘The’ is a definite article.

Complete step-by-step answer:

 One needs to figure out whether or not the underlined word is a definite article. An article is a word that's used with (before) a noun to specify grammatical definiteness of the given noun in the English language. The articles in English grammar are the and a/an. There are two types of articles. Definite article and Indefinite Articles. 'a' and 'an' are indefinite articles. 'The' is the definite article. It is put before a noun to point that the identity of the noun is thought to the reader.
“the” in the above sentence refers to the noun ‘rose’ and as established above, it is a definite article.
Option a “true” is the correct option. Option b, “false” is the incorrect option. Clearly, option a, is the correct answer.

Note: The most important part of solving this question would be to know the meaning of articles and the definite articles and when and where they are used.
