Choose the option that demonstrates the most appropriate use of articles.

Options:

The Secretary and the Treasurer are absent

Secretary and Treasurer are absent

The Secretary and Treasurer are absent

Correct Answer:

The Secretary and the Treasurer are absent

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - The Secretary and the Treasurer are absent

The Secretary: We use "the" because we are referring to a specific person holding the position of Secretary.
the Treasurer: Similarly, "the" is used to refer to the specific person holding the position of Treasurer.

Therefore, both positions are specific, and we use "the" before each title.
