Let’s solve each question step by step.

---

Q1. Fill in the blanks with suitable articles.

Articles are “a”, “an”, and “the”.
- Use “a” before words that start with a consonant sound.
- Use “an” before words that start with a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u).
- Use “the” when talking about something specific or already known.

Now let’s fill each blank:

a) She met with ______ accident last Wednesday.
→ “accident” starts with a vowel sound → use an
✔ Answer: an

b) She saw monkeys, ______ giraffe and ______ ape.
→ “giraffe” starts with a consonant sound → use a
→ “ape” starts with a vowel sound → use an
✔ Answers: a, an

c) Our ship crossed ______ Atlantic Ocean.
→ “Atlantic Ocean” is a specific ocean → use the
✔ Answer: the

d) May I have ______ cup of coffee and milk?

Q2. Fill in the blanks with ‘is’, ‘are’, ‘has’, ‘have’, ‘do’ or ‘does’.

We need to match the verb to the subject (singular/plural) and tense.

a) The boy ______ his work carefully.
→ “boy” = singular → needs third person singular verb → does (if action) or has (if possession) — but context says “work carefully” → likely doing work → does
Wait — actually, “does his work” makes sense. But sometimes “has” can be used too. Let’s think:
If it’s about completing work → “has done” would be perfect, but we only have “has” or “does”.
Actually, “The boy does his work carefully” = he performs his work carefully → correct.
But also possible: “The boy has his work carefully” doesn’t make sense. So → does

Wait — maybe it’s “has”? No, “has his work” means he possesses it, not that he’s doing it.
So better: does

BUT — looking at common usage: “The boy does his homework” is standard.
However, some might say “The boy has his work” meaning he completed it — but then “carefully” doesn’t fit well.
Actually, rethinking: Perhaps it’s “has” if it’s “has finished”, but we don’t have “finished”.
Given options, best fit: does

Wait — let me check again. Maybe it’s “has” as in “has done”? But we can’t add “done”.
Actually, perhaps the intended answer is has — because “has his work” could mean he possesses it, but that doesn’t go with “carefully”.
I think there’s ambiguity, but most likely: does

Hold on — let’s look at other sentences for pattern.

b) The men ______ repairing the bridge.
→ “men” = plural → present continuous → need “are”
✔ Answer: are

c) I usually ______ my homework in the evening.
→ “I” + habitual action → use do
✔ Answer: do

d) Mrs Sharma ______ our new Headmistress.
→ “Mrs Sharma” = singular → linking verb → is
✔ Answer: is

e) These pictures ______ without colours. Those pictures ______ beautiful colours.
→ First part: “pictures” = plural → “are” (state of being)
Second part: “pictures” = plural → “have” (possession)
✔ Answers: are, have

f) ______ this well and you will get a prize.
→ Imperative sentence → base verb → Do
✔ Answer: Do

g) The book ______ many new words.
→ “book” = singular → possession → has
✔ Answer: has

Back to a): Given all others, and since “does his work” is grammatically correct and fits “carefully”, I’ll go with does.

But wait — another thought: In British English, sometimes “has” is used differently, but here, “does” is safer.

Actually, let me double-check Q2a:
“The boy ______ his work carefully.”
If it’s about performing the action → “does”
If it’s about possessing → “has” — but “carefully” suggests manner of doing → so does

Yes.

Q3. Identify the nouns in the following sentences

Nouns are names of people, places, things, or ideas.

i) The children are going to the cinema.

Break it down:
- “children” → people → noun
- “cinema” → place → noun

“The” and “are” and “going” and “to” are not nouns.

✔ Nouns: children, cinema
