Fill in the blanks with correct set of articles : There is …………. lunch today in …………. honour of …………. new director.


Options:

  1. zero article, the, a
  2. a, zero article, the
  3. zero article, the, the
  4. a, the, a

Right Answer: a, zero article, the

The first blank needs the indefinite article ‘a’, because ‘lunch’ is here a particular countable event, a meal arranged for an occasion, rather than the uncountable idea of the meal in general. The second blank takes no article, since ‘in honour of’ is a fixed prepositional phrase in which ‘honour’ is used abstractly and never carries an article. The third blank takes the definite article ‘the’, because an organisation has only one new director and the person is therefore uniquely identified for both speaker and listener.
