1.”I saw ……. one-eyed man when I was walking on the road.”

(a) a  (b) an  (c) the  (d) no article is needed

Explanation: Even though “one” starts with the vowel ‘o’, its pronunciation begins with a ‘w’ sound (like “won”), which is a consonant sound. Therefore, the indefinite article ‘a’ is used before it.

2’Among’ is a preposition that is used when – people are involved.

(a) two (b) more than two (c) two or more than two (d) four only

Explanation: ‘Among’ is used when referring to more than two people or things. For two people/things, ‘between’ is used.

3. Identify the determiner in the sentence “Bring me that book”.

(a) bring (b) me (c) that (d) book

Explanation: A determiner is a word that modifies a noun and indicates its quantity, quality, or specificity. In this sentence, ‘that’ specifies which “book” is being referred to, acting as a demonstrative determiner.

4. Fill in the blank with the correct quantifier.

The original question provided no sentence to fill in. Based on the explanation, it seems a blank for an uncountable noun was intended. Assuming a question like “There is ____ milk in the jug.”

(a) a few (b) quite a few (c) many (d) a little

Explanation: ‘A little’ is used with uncountable nouns to indicate a small, positive quantity. ‘Few’ and ‘many’ are used with countable nouns.

5. Identify the determiner in the following sentence: “I still have ……. money.”

(a) have (b) news (c) no (d) for

Explanation: A determiner is a word that comes before a noun and specifies its quantity or identifies it. In this context, ‘no’ functions as a determiner, indicating the absence of money. (The original explanation provided here for a blank needs a specific word to fill, and “no” fits as a determiner for “money”).

6. ‘A’ and ‘An’ are –

(a) Definite article (b) Indefinite article (c) Both (d) None

Explanation: ‘A’ and ‘An’ are indefinite articles because they refer to a non-specific noun.

7. It is ……… quarter to six.

(a) the (b) a (c) an (d) that

Explanation: The phrase “a quarter to six” is a standard way of expressing time, meaning fifteen minutes before six. ‘A’ is always used before “quarter” in this context.

8. I paid ………. one taka note ………. old paper.

(a) no article, the (b) a, the (c) a, no article (d) no above of the above

Explanation:

1. For “one taka note,” as explained in question 1, “one” sounds like “won,” so ‘a’ is used.
2. “Old paper” in this context refers to paper as a general material, which is an uncountable noun. Articles are generally not used before material nouns when referring to them in a general sense. Therefore, no article is needed for “old paper.”

9. Dhaka stands on ……… Buriganga.

(a) a (b) an (c) the (d) of

Explanation: The definite article ‘the’ is used before the names of rivers, seas, oceans, archipelagos, and ships. “Buriganga” is a river.

10. He went to ………… hospital because he had …………. heart attack.

(a) no article, an (b) the, no article (c) a, an (d) no article

Explanation:

1. When referring to institutions like “hospital” (or school, college, mosque) and the primary purpose of visiting them is implied (e.g., for treatment at a hospital), no article is used.
2. “Heart attack” is a specific medical condition. The indefinite article ‘an’ is used before “attack” because “attack” starts with a vowel sound.

11. He is ……….. FRCS.

(a) a (b) an (c) the (d) no article

Explanation: For acronyms or abbreviations, the choice of article (‘a’ or ‘an’) depends on the sound of the first letter when spoken. “FRCS” is pronounced “Eff-Are-Cee-Ess,” starting with a vowel sound (“Eff”). Therefore, ‘an’ is used.

12. …………… Bangladeshis are a brave nation.

(a) A (b) An (c) The (d) no article

Explanation: The definite article ‘the’ is used before a nationality when referring to the people of that nation as a whole. Here, “Bangladeshis” refers to the people of Bangladesh.

13. Which is ………… largest river in our country?

(a) one (b) the (c) an (d) a

Explanation: ‘The’ is always used before a superlative degree adjective (e.g., largest, best, most beautiful).

14. None but brave deserves ……….. fair.

(a) a, the (b) the, the (c) the, no article (d) no article

Explanation: When an adjective (like “brave” or “fair”) is used to refer to a class of people (e.g., “the brave” meaning brave people), it is preceded by ‘the’. So, “the brave” means brave people, and “the fair” refers to fair treatment or the collective of those who are fair.

15. At last the beast in him got ……….. upper hand.

(a) A (b) An (c) the (d) no article

Explanation: The idiom is “get the upper hand,” meaning to gain control or an advantage.

16. He will leave for ………. USA.

(a) an (b) a (c) the (d) none

Explanation: The definite article ‘the’ is used before country names that are plural or include words like “States,” “Kingdom,” “Republic,” etc., such as “the USA,” “the United Kingdom,” “the Philippines.”

17. ………… English are industrious.

(a) an (b) a (c) the (d) none

Explanation: Similar to question 12, when “English” refers to the people of England (the English nation), it is preceded by ‘the’.

18. This is rather ……… different question.

(a) the (b) no article (c) an (d) a

Explanation: The phrase “rather a/an [adjective] [noun]” is a common construction. Here, “different question” is a singular countable noun phrase, and “different” starts with a consonant sound, so ‘a’ is appropriate.

19. ……… water of this pond is clear. Use article.

(a) The (b) a (c) no article (d) an

Explanation: While “water” is generally an uncountable noun and doesn’t take an article, in this sentence, “water” is being specifically identified as “the water of this pond.” When an uncountable noun is made specific, ‘the’ is used.

20. He is ……… BBA student.

(a) a (b) an (c) the (d) none

Explanation: Similar to FRCS (question 11), the article depends on the sound of the first letter of the abbreviation. “BBA” is pronounced “Bee-Bee-Ay,” starting with a vowel sound (“Ee”). Therefore, ‘an’ is used.

21. ………. water of this lake is pure.

(a) a (b) an or the (c) the (d) no article

Explanation: Similar to question 19, “water” is made specific by the phrase “of this lake,” so ‘the’ is used.

22. ………. Bangladeshis are proud of their glorious past.

(a) A (b) An (c) The (d) This

Explanation: As in question 12, “Bangladeshis” refers to the people of Bangladesh as a collective group, thus requiring ‘the’.

23. At the scene, ¾ mother rose in her.

(a) a (b) the (c) a or the (d) no article

Explanation: When a common noun (like “mother”) refers to an abstract quality or characteristic associated with that noun (e.g., motherly instinct or maternal feelings), ‘the’ is used. Here, “the mother” refers to the maternal instinct or quality of motherhood.

24. There is milk in the glass.

The original question only provides options for filling a blank, implying a quantifier is needed for “milk”. Assuming the question was “There is ____ milk in the glass.”

(a) a big amount (b) much (c) small (d) a little

Explanation: “Milk” is an uncountable noun. ‘A little’ is used to indicate a small, positive quantity of uncountable nouns.

25. Sohana is ……… European lady. Put an article in the blank.

(a) a (b) an (c) the (d) no article

Explanation: Although “European” starts with the vowel ‘E’, its pronunciation begins with a consonant sound, “yoo” (like “you-rope-ean”). Therefore, the indefinite article ‘a’ is used.

26. …….. mother rose in her.

(a) A (b) The (c) An (d) No article

Explanation: This is identical to question 23. “The mother” refers to the abstract quality of motherhood or maternal instinct.

27. No article is used before ¾

(a) a pronoun (b) an adjective (c) a noun (d) an adverb

Explanation: Articles are generally used with nouns (or adjectives that modify nouns). They are not typically used directly before pronouns or adverbs. While articles can precede adjectives that are part of a noun phrase, they do not precede standalone adjectives or adverbs. The most direct answer among the choices where an article is never used as a standalone is before an adverb.

28. In the sentence Copying is prohibited in the examination. ‘Copying’ is a/an ¾

(a) noun (b) adjective (c) adverb (d) verb

Explanation: “Copying” in this sentence is a gerund, which is a verb form ending in “-ing” that functions as a noun. Here, “copying” is the subject of the sentence, performing the role of a noun.

29. I – someone who wrote a book about ……… life of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

(a) a (b) the (c) an (d) no article

Explanation: “Life” is generally an abstract noun, but here it is specifically referred to as “the life of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.” When an abstract noun is made specific by a modifying phrase, ‘the’ is used.

30. Which one of the following sentences is correct?

(a) Rajbari is on the Padma (b) The Rajbari is on the Padma (c) Rajbari is on Padma (d) Rajbari is on a Padma

Explanation:

1. Names of places/cities (like “Rajbari”) generally do not take an article.
2. Names of rivers (like “Padma”) always take the definite article ‘the’. Therefore, option (a) is correct.

31. I saw …….. beggar.

(a) an one-eyed (b) an one-eye (c) a one-eye (d) a one-eyed

Explanation: Similar to question 1, “one-eyed” starts with a ‘w’ sound, so ‘a’ is used. “One-eyed” is also the correct adjectival form to describe the beggar.

32. He went to ¾ hospital because he had ¾ heart attack.

(a) no article, an (b) a, an (c) the, no article (d) no article, a

Explanation: This is identical to question 10. No article for “hospital” when used for its primary purpose, and “an” for “heart attack.”

33. English is a language whereas ¾ English is a nation. (English is a language where as the English is a nation.)

(a) an (b) a (c) the (d) none of the above

Explanation: When “English” refers to the language, no article is used (or “an English language” if specified). When “English” refers to the people of England (the nation), ‘the’ is used (“The English”).

34. Iron is …….. useful metal.

(a) an (b) the (c) a (d) none

Explanation: Although “useful” starts with the vowel ‘u’, its pronunciation begins with a consonant sound, “yoo” (like “yoo-s-ful”). Therefore, the indefinite article ‘a’ is used.

35. Fill in the blank: – English are industrious.

(a) The (b) an (c) each (d) a

Explanation: This is identical to question 17. “The English” refers to the people of England.

36. I don’t have ?furniture.

(a) much (b) more (c) many (d) too

Explanation: “Furniture” is an uncountable noun. ‘Much’ is used with uncountable nouns to indicate a large quantity, often in negative sentences or questions. “Many” is used with countable nouns.

37. I need ……….. milk.

(a) a little (b) An (c) Each (d) A

Explanation: “Milk” is an uncountable noun. ‘A little’ (which is not an option here, but was in the original explanation for the original question, which is problematic) is used for a small amount of uncountable nouns. Given the options, and assuming a typo in the explanation provided, if “a little” was intended, it would be the correct choice. However, if we strictly adhere to the given options and assume a general desire for milk, and since it is uncountable, no article would be standard for general reference, or “some” if quantity is implied. None of the current options fit perfectly for “milk” in a general sense except if “a little” was indeed the intended answer from a previous context. Based on the provided answer (b) An, this question seems to have a mismatch between options and explanation. Re-evaluating: If the question implied a quantity or a specific type, the original explanation with “a little” would be correct. Without more context, none of the provided options (a, b, c, d) are ideal for “milk” as a general uncountable noun. The explanation points to ‘a little’. If forced to choose from (a), (b), (c), (d), and assuming this is from a multiple choice where ‘a little’ was option (a), then the answer is problematic. Let’s assume the question should have been “I need a little milk.”

38. He is ?…… MBBS.

(a) a (b) an (c) the (d) no article

Explanation: Similar to FRCS and BBA (questions 11 and 20), “MBBS” is pronounced “Em-Bee-Bee-Ess,” starting with a vowel sound (“Em”). Therefore, ‘an’ is used.

39. The Meghna falls into ¾ Bay of Bengal.

(a) the (b) a (c) an (d) no article

Explanation: The definite article ‘the’ is used before the names of gulfs, bays, and oceans. “Bay of Bengal” is a bay.

40. Check ……… beast in you.

(a) the (b) a (c) an (d) no article

Explanation: Similar to question 23, “beast” here refers to an abstract quality or characteristic (animalistic instincts or wild tendencies) rather than a literal animal. When a common noun refers to an abstract quality, ‘the’ is used.

41. …….. Nelson is a British warship. Put an article in the gap.

(a) A (b) The (c) No article (d) An

Explanation: The definite article ‘the’ is used before the names of ships. “The Nelson” refers to a specific ship.

42. What will be the appropriate article in the blank of the sentence?

The original question does not provide a sentence to fill. Based on the explanation, it refers to a proper noun used as a common noun.

(a) a (b) an (c) the (d) noun

Explanation: When a proper noun is used as a common noun to make a comparison (e.g., “He is a Einstein” meaning he is as smart as Einstein), the indefinite article ‘a’ or ‘an’ (depending on pronunciation) is used.

43. There were ……… guests than I expected.

(a) less (b) lesser (c) fewer (d) few

Explanation: “Guests” are countable nouns. ‘Fewer’ is used with countable nouns in comparisons to indicate a smaller number. “Less” is used with uncountable nouns.

44. He is ………. FRCS. (Fill in the blank with the appropriate article.)

(a) an (b) a (c) the (d) no article

Explanation: This is identical to question 11. “FRCS” is pronounced with an initial vowel sound, so ‘an’ is used.

45. ……… beef we had at dinner last night was excellent.

(a) no article (b) an (c) a (d) the

Explanation: While “beef” is a material (uncountable) noun, in this sentence, it is specifically referred to as “the beef we had at dinner last night.” When a material noun is made specific, ‘the’ is used.

46. The charge for ……….. excess luggage is tk. 600 per kilo.

(a) the (b) a (c) an (d) none of the above

Explanation: “Luggage” is an uncountable noun. When referring to a specific instance or quantity of uncountable nouns, ‘the’ is often used. Here, it’s about the specific “excess luggage.”

47. My elder brother is ……….. M.A.

(a) a (b) an (c) the (d) none

Explanation: “M.A.” is pronounced “Em-Ay,” starting with a vowel sound (“Em”). Therefore, ‘an’ is used.

48. Mr. Rahim is ……… honorable man.

(a) no article (b) an (c) the (d) a

Explanation: Although “honorable” starts with the consonant ‘h’, the ‘h’ is silent, and the word is pronounced “on-or-uh-bul,” starting with a vowel sound (‘o’). Therefore, ‘an’ is used.

49. He is in ………. wrong.

(a) the (b) an (c) a (d) this

Explanation: The phrase “in the wrong” is an idiom meaning to be mistaken or at fault.

50. ……… agriculture is ……… important activity in Bangladesh.

(a) no article, the (b) no article, an (c) an, an (d) the, the

Explanation:

1. “Agriculture” is a general, uncountable noun when referring to the concept. Therefore, no article is used before it in a general sense.
2. “Important activity” is a singular countable noun phrase. “Important” starts with a vowel sound, so ‘an’ is used.
