Question

b) An higher you climb a colder it gets. (Rewrite the sentence using the correct article in place of the underlined article.)

Answer 1

The correct answer is given below:

The higher you climb the colder it gets.

Explanation

This is comparative adjective structure in which we use two comparative degrees of adjective with the definite article ‘the’. We use this structure to say that a change in one thing goes with a change in another. The faster you drive, the better. The harder you work, the more confident you feel.

Answer 2

The correct answer is - "The higher you climb, the colder it gets."

In the given sentence, two comparative degrees of the adjectives are used. Therefore, a definite article has to be used to interconnect the statement appropriately, which is 'the' in this case.

This sentence structure draws a comparison in the superlative degree meaning that a change in one phenomenon changes the other phenomenon also.
