Question

Use appropriate articles:

We had ______ very nice meal. _____ vegetables were especially good.

• A. a ; a
• B. a ; the
• C. the ; a
• D. the ; the

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

The indefinite article 'a' is used before unspecific singular nouns used in a general sense and the definite article 'the' is used before specific things. Here, 'meal' is mentioned in a general sense but 'vegetables' are mentioned specifically as those that were part of the meal. Therefore, the correct option is, therefore, B.
