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:
- a) "The sun" is used because we are referring to a specific celestial body (the sun) that is well-known and unique in context.
- b) "Honesty" is used without an article because it is a general concept or abstract noun. Abstract nouns referring to qualities or ideas (like honesty, truth, justice) are typically not preceded by articles.
- c) "The earth" is used because it refers to a specific planet (Earth) that is well-known and unique in context. Articles are used with proper nouns when referring to specific instances of things (e.g., the sun, the earth).
