Choose the sentence which has the appropriate use of Article/s:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) - Mathematics is an interesting subject.
-
Option 1:
"Mathematics is an interesting subject."- "Mathematics" is a subject name that is treated as a general discipline and is used without a definite article.
- The phrase "an interesting subject" correctly uses the indefinite article "an" with a singular countable noun "subject."
- This sentence follows standard article usage rules.
-
Option 2:
"The Tennis is not our national game."- Sport names like "tennis" are typically used without the definite article "the."
- The correct form would be "Tennis is not our national game."
-
Option 3:
"I have had the lunch."- The definite article "the" before "lunch" implies a specific lunch known to both speaker and listener.
- In general usage, we say "I have had lunch" unless referring to a particular lunch.
-
Option 4:
"Our examination is at the hand."- The idiom is "at hand" (meaning imminent or nearby), not "at the hand."
- The use of "the" here is incorrect.
