Determiners:

• A determiner is a word used before a noun. It can be in the form of articles, demonstratives, possessives or quantifiers etc.
• They are usually confused and mismatched with pronouns, but both concepts totally stand different.
• The determiner is used based on the nature of the noun in a given sentence.
• Such an example is the first blank where the noun 'shoes' plural in nature is used. So the determiner will also be plural and hence 'all' is the correct one for the blank.
• All these blanks are filled with determiners from the bracket after identifying the nature of the noun (singular/plural).
