Q227

On . . . . . . . . first day, they stopped at . . . . . . . . river and decided to make . . . . . . . . camp.

A.
the, a, a
Answer
B.
the, no article, a
C.
the, an, a
D.
no article, no article, no article

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Option A is the answer since "the" is a definite article and the first blank is talking about a definite day, which is the first day. The river and camp mentioned in the statement are indefinite ones and aren't talking about a particular river or camp, thus a definite article cannot be used. Both of them begin with consonants and not vowels, and thus "an" will not be used.
