Question

Fill in the blanks with the most suitable articles.
It’s ____ nice morning. Let’s go for ____ walk.
(a)a, a
(b)no article required, a
(c)a, no article required
(d)no article required, no article required

Answer 1

Hint: No words are beginning with a vowel at the end of both the blanks. This will determine the article, as you choose the article according to the sound that follows it. Since the word starts with a consonant sound, there is only one article that can be used here.

Complete answer: An article is a word that is used along with a noun to specify grammatical definiteness of the given noun, and in some languages extending to volume or numerical scope. It aids us to understand the complete and exact meaning of the sentence and is capable of even changing the meaning of the given sentence.
For example, in the sentence ‘She gave us a book to read’, uses the article ‘a’ to describe the number of books. There can be room for interpretation here. There can be multiple books, however, only one was handed to them. But, in the sentence ‘She handed us the book’, the article ‘the’ makes it clear that there is only one book being handed.
Indefinite articles are used for a thing or person when the reader doesn’t know which one we are referring to out of multiple nouns. It is used for denoting the random nature of an object.

The given nouns after the blank are common. This means that both nouns should take an indefinite article before them.
Now, we know what we are looking for. Let’s look at the given options:
(a)a, a - Both articles are indefinite articles. They fit perfectly into the context of the given sentence. This is the required answer. So, this is the correct option.
(b)no article required, a - We need articles for both the blanks. This does not fit into the given sentence. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
(c)a, no article required - We need articles for both the blanks. This does not fit into the given sentence. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
(d)no article required, no article required - We need articles for both the blanks. This does not fit into the given sentence. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.

Note: Say the given sentence out loud. The sound that you make will influence the article, however, note the difference between the articles ‘a/an’ and ‘the’. They can change the meaning of the sentence.
