Question:

Choose the sentence that DOES NOT have the Article placed correctly:

Options:

This is the same pen that I borrowed from you last week.

Suresh will be moving to a European city next month.

Maya is the very smart person.

This film will be a treat for children.

Correct Answer:

Maya is the very smart person.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) - Maya is the very smart person.

The sentence that DOES NOT have the article placed correctly is:Maya is the very smart person.

  • In this sentence, the phrase "the very smart person" is incorrect because it implies a specific person that the listener is already aware of. Instead, it should simply be "Maya is a very smart person," using the indefinite article "a" to refer to Maya as one of many smart people, rather than implying she is the only one.

OTHER OPTIONS

  • This is the same pen that I borrowed from you last week. (Correct usage of "the" for a specific pen.)
  • Suresh will be moving to a European city next month. (Correct usage of "a" for any European city.)
  • This film will be a treat for children. (Correct usage of "a" for any treat for children.)
