Explanation:

Articles are modifiers that are attached to a noun or noun phrase to help the readers or listeners determine the kind of noun. They are of two types:

• Definite Article- 'the' is the definite article and is used to refer to something specific or particular. 'The' is also used while referring to:

1. Collective nouns- The mob chased me.
2. Superlative degree of comparison- The best food I ever had.
3. Plural nouns- The children were polite.

• Indefinite Articles- 'a' and 'an' are indefinite articles and are used in reference to nothing specific or particular, and are attached to singular nouns. Nouns having a vowel as the first letter would have 'an' attached to it, while nouns having a 'consonant' as the first letter would have 'a' attached to it.

Thus 'a' and 'an' respectively are the correct words to be filled in the blanks.
