Fill in the blanks with the correct article. 1. boy slipped on the floor. 2. There is apple and orange in the basket

1. The

2. an; an

Explanation:

1. The boy slipped on the floor.

The should be used as the relevant article when the noun in the sentence is specific and the only one being referred to as is the case with the boy in this sentence.

2. There is an apple and an orange in the basket.

As both apple and orange begin with vowels or rather have a vowel like sound, the relevant article will be ''an'' because this is the article to be used when referring to vowels.

the correct answer option for this is: false.

explanation:

we are given the following statement 'hawthorne thought of himself as a novelist' which is false.

the truth is that nathaniel hawthorne thought of himself as a romancer, rather than a novelist.

though it is ironic of him of him to consider himself a romancer rather than a novelist despite of the innocent women killings in the salem witch trials which occurred in colonial massachusetts between 1692 and 1693 .
