Fill in the blanks with appropriate articles: a) sun rises in the east. b) honesty is the best policy. c) earth revolves around the sun.
1Answer
a) The sun rises in the east. b) Honesty is the best policy. c) The earth revolves around the sun.
Explanation:
Articles (a, an, the) are used to specify nouns. Here’s the reasoning for each blank:
a) The sun
- "The" is used because "sun" refers to a specific celestial body (the one we know about). It is a unique entity in this context, so the definite article is required.
b) Honesty
- No article is used because "honesty" is an abstract noun (a quality or idea) and is used in a general sense. Abstract nouns in general statements typically do not take articles.
c) The earth
- "The" is used because "earth" here refers to our specific planet (the one we live on). Like "the sun," it is a unique entity in this context, so the definite article is necessary.
