Q47

The class decided to organise ________.

  1. (a) picnic
  2. (b) a picnicCorrect answer
  3. (c) picnics
  4. (d) the picnic

Solution.

Answer: (b) a picnic

  1. Picnic is a countable noun, so in the singular it needs an article.
  2. The picnic is mentioned for the first time, so the indefinite article "a" is used.
  3. "picnic" with no article is ungrammatical here.

Trap: "picnics" and "the picnic" are also grammatical, but nothing in the sentence points to several events or to one already mentioned.
