I cannot imagine life without . . . . . . . . internet.
Answer:
The noun 'internet' is generally used with the definite article 'the' because it refers to a unique system of networks. 'A' or 'an' would suggest one among many, which is inaccurate. No article would also sound unnatural in standard English. Hence, 'the internet' is correct.

She took . . . . . . . . photograph of the sunset.
Answer:
a
The noun 'photograph' starts with a consonant sound, making 'a' the proper indefinite article. The photograph is being mentioned for the first time, hence indefiniteness. 'An' would be phonetically wrong. Thus, 'a photograph' is correct.

He is one of . . . . . . . . best players on the team.
Answer:
Superlative forms such as 'best' require the definite article 'the'. This indicates that the player belongs to a specific group defined by the highest quality. Using 'a' or 'an' would be ungrammatical here. Therefore, 'the best' is correct.

We climbed to the top of . . . . . . . . mountain.
Answer:
a
The article 'a' is correct here because the mountain is introduced for the first time and is not specified. 'An' would not fit due to the consonant sound of 'mountain'. 'The' would be used only if a specific mountain were identified. Thus, 'a mountain' is proper.

She found . . . . . . . . keys on the kitchen table.
Answer:
The definite article 'the' is correct because the keys are specific and identifiable by their location. Both speaker and listener understand which keys are being referenced. 'A' or 'an' would not convey specificity. Thus, 'the keys' is correct.
69746
He read . . . . . . . . article on environmental policies.
Answer:
The noun 'article' begins with a vowel sound, so the correct article is 'an'. Since this is the first mention, the indefinite article is suitable. 'A' would not be correct phonetically. Therefore, 'an article' is appropriate here.
69747
They are going to watch . . . . . . . . movie tonight.
Answer:
a
The noun 'movie' begins with a consonant sound, requiring 'a' as the indefinite article. The movie is mentioned for the first time and is not yet specified. 'An' would be phonetically incorrect. Therefore, 'a movie' is correct.
69748
She lives near . . . . . . . . river.
Answer:
a
The indefinite article 'a' is used because 'river' is introduced for the first time and is non-specific. 'An' would not work since 'river' starts with a consonant sound. 'The' would be appropriate only if a particular river were specified. Thus, 'a river' is correct here.
69749
He kept . . . . . . . . diary during his travels.
Answer:
a
The noun 'diary' begins with a consonant sound, making 'a' the appropriate indefinite article. The diary is being mentioned for the first time and is not specific. 'The' would suggest prior knowledge of the diary. Therefore, 'a diary' is correct.
69750
She looked at me with . . . . . . . . unusual expression.
Answer:
The adjective 'unusual' begins with a vowel sound, which requires the use of 'an'. Because the expression is introduced for the first time, an indefinite article is appropriate. 'A' would not conform to the vowel sound rule. Thus, 'an unusual expression' is correct.
