Answer 2

The correct sentence is: Petrol is sold by the litre.

The two sentences given are

1. The petrol is sold by the litre.

2. Petrol is sold by the litre.

The difference between sentence 1 and sentence 2 is the use of the definite article 'the'.

Articles: Articles are a kind of adjective that are used before nouns or their equivalents.

Definite article: Before a noun, the definite article (the) is used to show that the reader is aware of the word's identity.

Indefinite article: When a noun is vague or the identity of the noun is unknown, the indefinite article (a, an) is used before the noun.

Zero article:

• There are some circumstances in which a noun does not require an article.
• Nouns that cannot be counted, such as sugar, love, air, odour, water, rage, rain, light, and darkness, do not need articles and cannot be pluralized.

Here, 'petrol' is a non-countable noun. It is rather measured in litre. Hence, we do not use the definite article 'the'.

Hence, the correct sentence is "petrol is sold by the litre".
