2511
She has . . . . . . . . fever and should rest today.
With some common ailments, idiomatic English uses 'a' (e.g., 'a fever', 'a cold', 'a headache'). Here, the countable sense indicates an episode of fever. 'The fever' would imply a specific, known condition. Therefore, 'a fever' is appropriate.
2512
We climbed to . . . . . . . . top of the tower for a better view.
The phrase 'the top' denotes a unique, contextually defined location within the tower. It is therefore definite. Using 'a top' would be illogical, as there is only one top per structure. Hence, 'the top' is required.
2513
He visited . . . . . . . . university where his mother studied.
The relative clause 'where his mother studied' makes the noun phrase definite by specifying which university. The definite article signals this unique reference. Indefinite articles would fail to capture the specificity. Therefore, 'the university' is correct.
2514
She bought . . . . . . . . umbrella and a raincoat just in case.
The noun 'umbrella' begins with a vowel sound, so 'an' is required. The item is introduced for the first time, hence the indefinite article. 'A' would be phonetically incorrect. 'The' would imply prior identification.
2515
He read . . . . . . . . article you recommended yesterday.
The restrictive clause 'you recommended yesterday' uniquely identifies the article. This specificity requires the definite article. An indefinite article would not reflect the restricted reference. Hence, 'the article' is correct.
2516
Please turn down . . . . . . . . volume; it’s too loud for the library.
In this context, 'volume' refers to a specific, controllable setting understood by both parties. The definite article signals the particular parameter in question. Using no article would be less precise. Therefore, 'the volume' is appropriate.
2517
. . . . . . . . Mount Fuji is visible on clear days from Tokyo.
Single mountains prefixed by 'Mount' typically take no article (e.g., 'Mount Fuji', 'Mount Kilimanjaro'). The 'Mount + Name' construction functions as a proper noun. Adding 'the' before 'Mount' is nonstandard. Therefore, no article is used.
2518
They admired . . . . . . . . architecture of the mosque at sunset.
The 'of'-phrase specifies the architecture being discussed, making the head noun definite. The structure thus requires 'the'. Using no article would be overly generic. Hence, 'the architecture of the mosque' is correct.
2519
She is . . . . . . . . university student from a rural area.
Although spelled with 'u', 'university' begins with the consonant 'yoo' sound. Therefore, 'a' is correct. 'An university' would be phonetically wrong. The reference is indefinite and first mention.
2520
We took . . . . . . . . photograph at the summit as proof of our climb.
'Photograph' is a singular count noun introduced for the first time, so 'a' is appropriate. The initial consonant sound supports 'a'. 'The' would presume the photo is already known in the discourse. Thus, 'a photograph' is correct.
