Answer 2

Answer:

The correct article is "The"

We spent a lot of time swimming in the sea during our holiday.

Explanation:

• Articles, in English grammar, are the single words which come before nouns to indicate if it's specific or common/general.        

• "A & an" are called indefinite articles, the choices of their use depend on the sound (vowel/consonant).

• Usually, these articles leave indefinite the person or thing they have spoken of.  

• "The" is called the definite article because it normally points out some particular thing or person.  
• Before singular countable nouns, plural countable nouns and uncountable nouns come the definite article.

• And when we talk about a particular person or thing, or one already referred to (means when it is clear from the context which one already referred to or which one we mean.

• Here, the speaker is specialising in the particular activity of swimming in the sea.

Therefore, the most appropriate article would be "The"

i.e. We spent a lot of time swimming in the sea during our holiday.
