Question

_________ Mount Everest is the highest peak in the world. Choose the correct article.

• A. a
• B. an
• C. the
• D. no article

Answer 1

Answer:

D. no article

• Proper nouns like the names of mountains do not take an article (e.g., Mount Everest, Mount Kilimanjaro).

• However, when referring to mountain ranges (plural), we use "the" (e.g., the Himalayas, the Alps).

• In the phrase "the highest peak in the world," we use "the" because there is only one highest peak, making it specific.
