The correct answer is Option (2) - A, C, D
In English grammar, articles are words that modify nouns. There are three articles in English – ‘a’, ‘an’ and ‘the’.
Explanation:
-
A. Let's have dinner at 9 pm tonight instead of 8 pm. (Correct). No article is needed before "dinner" when referring to a meal in a general sense.
-
B. Honesty is the best policy. (Incorrect). "The best policy" contains "the", so this sentence does not have zero articles.
-
C. Man is mortal. (Correct)."Man" is used in a general sense to refer to humanity, so no article is needed.
-
D. We left for Raipur by train. (Correct). No article is used before "train" when referring to a mode of transport.
-
E. Horse is a faithful animal. (Incorrect). It should be "The horse" or "A horse" when making a general statement about horses.
