Question

Choose the sentence where articles are used or left out CORRECTLY.


I saw a herd of elephants.
I saw herd of elephants.
I saw a herd of the elephants.
I saw the herd of the elephants.

Answer 1

Answer:

The sentence in which articles are used or left out CORRECTLY is:

I saw a herd of elephants.

Explanation:

In the given sentence the use and omission of articles is correct. 'A herd' is correct because 'herd' is not any specific herd.

Omission of article in front of 'elephants' is also correct because articles are not used in front of plural countable nouns used in general sense.

Answer 2

Answer:

I saw a herd of elephants when we were touring the jungle.

I had never seen a jungle let alone see any wild animals that close.

It was both a thrilling and scary experience for me.

I felt scared because of how big they were; I remember looking at them and thinking, how can they move their body like that, it must take a terrible amount of effort to even sit down.
