Bilal read . . . . . . . . interesting novel during his trip.
Answer:
The adjective 'interesting' begins with a vowel sound, requiring 'an'. The novel is mentioned for the first time, so the indefinite article is suitable. 'A interesting novel' would be grammatically wrong. 'The novel' would only fit if it were already known. Therefore, 'an interesting novel' is correct.

The children looked at . . . . . . . . moon with curiosity.
Answer:
Unique natural objects like the moon always take the definite article 'the'. This shows that we are referring to the one known celestial body. 'A moon' would incorrectly suggest more than one moon. 'No article' would make the sentence incomplete. Hence, 'the moon' is correct.

Hamza wants to buy . . . . . . . . car from the showroom.
Answer:
a
The word 'car' begins with a consonant sound, so 'a' is correct. Since the car is being mentioned for the first time, the indefinite article is required. 'An car' would be grammatically wrong. 'The car' would imply a specific one already identified. Therefore, 'a car' is the right choice.

The noun 'apple' begins with a vowel sound, so 'an' is the correct article. Indefinite articles are used for first-time mentions of something. 'A apple pie' would be incorrect because of the sound rule. 'The apple pie' would only be correct if it had already been mentioned or specified. Thus, 'an apple pie' is right here.
