Answer 2

(i) A table has four legs.

'A' is an indefinite article which is used before words beginning with a consonant sound.

(ii) An apple has a sweet taste.

'An' is an indefinite article which is used before words beginning with a vowel sound.

(iii) Some fruits are very good to eat.

'Some' is a determiner that when used with a countable noun in plural, means an unknown number. In the above sentence, the number of fruits is unknown.

(iv) The book on that shelf is an interesting one about history.

'The' is a definite article, which is used to particularise a noun. For eg., the above sentence is about a particular history book.
