Question 1:
Have you ever been to _ Sicily?
A. a
B. an
C. the
D.
Feedback We do not use the definite article ‘the’ with individual islands: Prince Edward Island, Java, Sumatra,Panay, Bali, Cebu, Sardinia etc. But we do use the definite article ‘the’ with groups of islands: theCanaries, the Pacific Islands, the Frisian Islands (or the Wadden Islands).In the test sentence ‘Have you ever been to _ Sicily?’ we are given the name of the individual Italian island Sicily. Thus, we cannot use any article with it. Therefore, we are to choose ANSWER 4.
