She spoke to me in . . . . . . . . calm voice.
Answer:
a
The adjective 'calm' begins with a consonant sound, so 'a' is correct. The voice is mentioned for the first time, making the indefinite article appropriate. 'An' would not fit the phonetics. Thus, 'a calm voice' is proper grammar.
80172
He ordered . . . . . . . . sandwich at the café.
Answer:
a
The noun 'sandwich' begins with a consonant sound, so 'a' is the correct article. This is the first mention, hence the indefinite form. 'An' would be phonetically wrong. Therefore, 'a sandwich' is correct.
80173
We should protect . . . . . . . . environment.
Answer:
The definite article 'the' is used when referring to the environment as a whole, which is unique and universally shared. Indefinite articles would imply one environment among many, which is inaccurate. Therefore, 'the environment' is correct.
80174
She took out . . . . . . . . orange from the basket.
Answer:
The noun 'orange' begins with a vowel sound, requiring 'an'. This is a first mention, making the indefinite article suitable. 'A' would not follow the vowel sound rule. Thus, 'an orange' is correct.
80175
I cannot imagine life without . . . . . . . . internet.
Answer:
The noun 'internet' is generally used with the definite article 'the' because it refers to a unique system of networks. 'A' or 'an' would suggest one among many, which is inaccurate. No article would also sound unnatural in standard English. Hence, 'the internet' is correct.
80176
She took . . . . . . . . photograph of the sunset.
Answer:
a
The noun 'photograph' starts with a consonant sound, making 'a' the proper indefinite article. The photograph is being mentioned for the first time, hence indefiniteness. 'An' would be phonetically wrong. Thus, 'a photograph' is correct.
80177
He is one of . . . . . . . . best players on the team.
Answer:
Superlative forms such as 'best' require the definite article 'the'. This indicates that the player belongs to a specific group defined by the highest quality. Using 'a' or 'an' would be ungrammatical here. Therefore, 'the best' is correct.
80178
We climbed to the top of . . . . . . . . mountain.
Answer:
a
The article 'a' is correct here because the mountain is introduced for the first time and is not specified. 'An' would not fit due to the consonant sound of 'mountain'. 'The' would be used only if a specific mountain were identified. Thus, 'a mountain' is proper.
80179
She found . . . . . . . . keys on the kitchen table.
Answer:
The definite article 'the' is correct because the keys are specific and identifiable by their location. Both speaker and listener understand which keys are being referenced. 'A' or 'an' would not convey specificity. Thus, 'the keys' is correct.
80180
He read . . . . . . . . article on environmental policies.
Answer:
The noun 'article' begins with a vowel sound, so the correct article is 'an'. Since this is the first mention, the indefinite article is suitable. 'A' would not be correct phonetically. Therefore, 'an article' is appropriate here.
