2781
Sheikh Ibrahim is reading . . . . . . . . book about astronomy.
The word 'book' begins with a consonant sound, so 'a' is the correct article. It is mentioned for the first time, which makes the indefinite article suitable. 'An book' would be grammatically wrong. 'The book' would imply a specific one already known. Hence, 'a book' is correct here.
Unique natural objects like the moon and sky always take the definite article 'the'. This emphasizes that we are referring to one particular and universal thing. 'A night sky' would suggest one among many, which is unnecessary here. 'No article' would also make the sentence incomplete. Therefore, 'the night sky' is correct.
2783
Ayesha bought . . . . . . . . kilo of rice from the shop.
The noun 'kilo' begins with a consonant sound, so 'a' is correct. Since it is the first mention of the rice quantity, the indefinite article is appropriate. 'An' would be wrong due to pronunciation. 'The' would only fit if it were a specific kilo already known. Thus, 'a kilo of rice' is correct.
2784
We must save . . . . . . . . water for the future.
When speaking of substances like water in a general sense, no article is used. Saying 'a water' or 'an water' would be incorrect because water is uncountable. 'The water' would only be used if a specific source were mentioned. In this case, the sentence refers to water generally. Hence, no article is correct.
The word 'honest' starts with a silent 'h' and thus begins with a vowel sound. This requires the use of 'an'. 'A honest opinion' would be grammatically incorrect. The indefinite article is correct since the opinion is introduced for the first time. Therefore, 'an honest opinion' is proper.
2786
The children are playing in . . . . . . . . park near our school.
The definite article 'the' is used when talking about a specific park already understood by context. It narrows down the meaning to one particular location. 'A park' would mean any park in general. 'No article' would make the sentence sound incomplete. Therefore, 'the park' is correct.
2787
Sheikh Omar told us . . . . . . . . story about his travels.
The noun 'story' begins with a consonant sound, so 'a' is the correct article. It is the first mention of the story, which makes the indefinite article appropriate. If it had been a specific story mentioned earlier, 'the' would be correct. 'An' would not fit the consonant sound. Thus, 'a story' is correct here.
2788
Sheikh Salman has bought . . . . . . . . European car.
Although 'European' begins with the vowel letter 'E', its pronunciation starts with a consonant 'yoo' sound. Therefore, the correct article is 'a'. Using 'an' would be grammatically wrong due to sound rules. Since the car is mentioned for the first time, the indefinite article is correct. Hence, 'a European car' is proper.
2789
We studied about . . . . . . . . Indus Valley Civilization.
Historical events, civilizations, and periods are introduced with the definite article 'the'. This emphasizes their unique identity in history. 'A Indus Valley Civilization' would be wrong because 'Indus' starts with a consonant sound. 'An' would also be incorrect here. Therefore, 'the Indus Valley Civilization' is correct.
2790
She bought . . . . . . . . umbrella for the rainy season.
The noun 'umbrella' begins with a vowel sound, requiring 'an'. The umbrella is mentioned for the first time, so the indefinite article is suitable. 'A umbrella' would be grammatically wrong because of pronunciation rules. 'The umbrella' would suggest a particular one known already. Hence, 'an umbrella' is correct.
