Answer 2

Answer:

• Generally no article is used before proper noun but when we compare between two proper nouns then 'the' is used before the major comparison : Bankim Chandra is called the Scott of Bengal.

• Here 'Bankim Chandra' has been compared with the 'Scott of Bengal'. The major comparison is the Scott of Bengal.

• The is also used before the name of the grand object of nature and so on : the moon, the sky, the Gita, the Raj Bhavan, etc.

• Moon, sky, Gita, Raj Bhagavan all are Proper Nouns.
