[amp_mcq option1=”a, a” option2=”no article, no article” option3=”the, no article” option4=”no article, the” correct=”option2″]
The correct answer is: B. no article, no article
The word “a” is used before a singular common noun that is not specific. The word “the” is used before a singular common noun that is specific. In this case, the noun “Baker Street” is a common noun that is not specific. It is not the only Baker Street in the world, and it is not the only Baker Street that is associated with J. W. Marriott. Therefore, we do not use an article before “Baker Street” in this sentence.
The word “the” can also be used before a singular common noun that is specific. For example, we might say “I live on the Baker Street that is in London.” In this case, we are referring to a specific Baker Street, so we use the article “the.”
However, in the sentence “J. W. Marriott is on Baker Street,” we are not referring to a specific Baker Street. We are simply saying that J. W. Marriott is located on a street called Baker Street. Therefore, we do not use an article before “Baker Street” in this sentence.
