The correct answer is 'A.'

Key Points  

• In the given sentence, the noun 'spectator' is not specific or particular or an unspecified noun.
• 'A' and 'an' are indefinite articles, which means that they refer to, or introduce, an unspecified noun.
  • We use 'a' before a consonant sound (here, spectator), and we use 'an' before a vowel sound.
    ​

Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

Complete Sentence: John is never a silent spectator in any argument he witnesses.

Additional Information

• Fewer and much are quantifiers used to give information about quantity (the number of something).
  • Much suggests a large quantity of something whilst fewer means a small number of something.

The correct answer is 'a few'.

Key Points

• The countable and uncountable nouns take different kinds of quantifiers (as well as determiners): little, a little etc are used with uncountable nouns and few, a few etc are used with countable nouns.
• In the given sentence, the pertinent noun 'books' is a countable noun.
• We often use quite + a/an + adjective + noun to refer to large amounts and quantities with an emphasis.
• In the given sentence, the best construct that can convey the meaning is 'quite a few books.'
• So, the correct choice for the word to fill the blank is 'a few' and the correct sentence: 'I have quite a few books on art.'

Hence, Option 2 is the correct answer.

Here the correct answer is 'a'.

Key Points

• In this sentence, the word "shed" is preceded by the indefinite article "a."
• The indefinite article is used when we are referring to a non-specific or generic noun. In this case, the speaker is talking about a particular shed but doesn't specify which one.
• The use of the definite article "the" would imply that there is only one specific shed that the speaker is referring to. However, the sentence does not provide any context to suggest that there is a specific shed in question.
• The use of the indefinite article "an" is incorrect because the word "shed" does not begin with a vowel sound. The use of "an" is reserved for nouns that begin with vowel sounds, such as "an apple" or "an hour."
• Here is an example to illustrate the correct use of the indefinite article:
  • I saw a dog running in the park. (referring to a non-specific or generic dog)
• And here is an example to illustrate the incorrect use of the definite article:
  • I saw the dog running in the park. (implies there is only one specific dog being referred to)
• Therefore, the correct article to fill in the blank is "a."

Correct Sentence: His office and living were in a dark shed. 

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 'An'
Key Points 

According to the rule, use the definite article with geographical features, such as mountain ranges, groups of islands, rivers, seas, oceans, and canals. 
But, in the given question we are not talking about the Atlantic Ocean we are explaining Jane's profession. Hence use the indefinite article(A/An) In this case we use 'An' because The Atlantic Ocean has a sound of Vowel.

• Let's see an example:

  • An Amazon River cruise would be a fantastic experience. (we are not talking about the amazon river we are talking about the cruise.)

So the correct sentence:
Jane’s mother is an Atlantic Ocean researcher.

The correct answer is 'Much'

Key Points

• 'Much' and 'Many' are determiners.
• They indicate the quantity or amount of a noun.
• In the affirmative, “much” and “many” mean “a large amount” or “a large quantity”.
• We use 'Many' only with countable nouns and Much' only with uncountable nouns.
  • Examples: 
  • There are many flowers in the garden.​
  • He doesn’t have much hair.
• ​In the given sentence philosophy is an uncountable noun.
   

As per the points mentioned above, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Additional Information

• The word 'some' is used as a quantifier when the thing you're referring to is uncountable, or the quantity is not known. Whereas, the word 'few' is used when the thing you are referring to is countable or is in finite quantity.
• For Examples:-
  • You spilled some water on your shirt.
  • Few students know Python in this class.

The correct answer is 'A little.'

Key Points

• Let us explore the given options:
  • 'The little' means a small quantity that is definite and specific. It means an individual considering the quantity small and specific.
  • 'Little' is a quantifier that means ‘hardly anything’ It depicts almost negative meaning.
  • 'A little' depicts a small quantity. It means an individual considers it a small but considerable quantity.
  • 'The few' means not many, but all of those.
• In the given sentence, the noun 'knowledge' is an uncountable noun.
• We know that 'little' is a quantifier used with uncountable nouns and 'few' is a quantifier used with plural countable nouns.
   

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

Complete Sentence: A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Hinglish

• दिए गए विकल्पों का पता लगाएं:
  • 'The little' का अर्थ एक छोटी मात्रा है जो निश्चित और विशिष्ट है। इसका अर्थ है एक व्यक्ति जो मात्रा को छोटा और विशिष्ट मानता है।
  • 'Little' एक quantifier है जिसका अर्थ है 'शायद ही कुछ' यह लगभग नकारात्मक अर्थ को दर्शाता है।
  • 'A little' एक छोटी मात्रा को दर्शाता है। इसका मतलब है कि एक व्यक्ति इसे एक छोटी लेकिन काफी मात्रा में मानता है।
  • 'The few' का अर्थ अनेक नहीं, बल्कि उन सभी से है।
• दिए गए वाक्य में noun 'knowledge' uncountable noun है।
• हम जानते हैं कि 'little' एक quantifier है जिसका प्रयोग uncountable nouns के साथ किया जाता है और 'few' plural countable nouns के साथ प्रयोग किया जाने वाला quantifier है।
   

अतः सही उत्तर विकल्प 3 है।

पूरा वाक्य: A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

The correct answer is 'these'.

Key Points

• The most appropriate determiner for the given blank is 'these'.
• 'This' and 'these' are used to point to something near you. For a singular thing, use this. For a plural thing, use these. 
• Example: 
  • I like this phone a lot.
  • Do you like these shoes?
• In the given sentence 'toys' is plural hence 'these' should be used.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 2.
   

Correct Sentence: I am not going to buy these toys for you.

The correct answer is 'Each'.

Key Points

• The most appropriate word for the given blank is 'Each'.
• It means 'everything, person, etc. in a group of two, considered separately'. 
• When we use 'each of' with a plural noun as subject, it is normally followed by a singular verb.
  • Example: Each of the buildings is surrounded by high metal fencing.
• We tend to go for the other options like 'All, Every' but it would be wrong to use them because we use them for more than two people.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 3.
   

Correct Sentence: Each of the two girls will get to perform. 

The correct answer is 'that'.

Key Points

• 'That' is used as a determiner at the beginning of sentences to indicate one object which is far from the speaker. 'That' and 'those' are generally used with 'there' to indicate that the object(s) is not close to the speaker. 
• Examples-
  • ​That's my friend Tom over there.
  • ​That's a pencil you have in your hand.
  • ​That is my house on the corner of the street
• ​Here, in the above question 'that' is correct, because the sentence indicates that 'Mary decided to relieve her mind of a troubling thought' was done in past. Neither It is not talking about the future nor it is talking about the present. And it could have happened any time in the past.
• ​According to the explanation and example that are given above, 'that' is the correct choice for the blank.
• Hence, 'that' is the most appropriate answer. i.e. option 2.
