Answer 1

Answer:

D. ii

• "The tiger": We use "the" because "tiger" is being mentioned in a specific, definite way, as a species (whole class).

• "an animal": We use "an" because "animal" starts with a vowel sound, and we're referring to it in a general sense.

• "the lion": We use "the" because we're referring to the specific comparison with the lion as a known species.

• "a native": We use "a" because we're talking about a general native of Asia, not a specific one.
