[amp_mcq option1=”no article, no article, the” option2=”a, the, no article” option3=”the, a, the” option4=”no article, an, no article” correct=”option1″]

The correct answer is: A. no article, no article, the

The first blank should be filled with no article because “meat” is a non-count noun. Non-count nouns do not have a plural form and are not preceded by an article.

The second blank should also be filled with no article because “vegetables” is a plural non-count noun.

The third blank should be filled with the definite article “the” because it is a specific second course.

Here is a brief explanation of each option:

• Option A: no article, no article, the. This is the correct answer because “meat” is a non-count noun and “vegetables” is a plural non-count noun. The definite article “the” is used because it is a specific second course.
• Option B: a, the, no article. This is incorrect because “meat” is a non-count noun and does not take an article. The definite article “the” is used with count nouns, not non-count nouns.
• Option C: the, a, the. This is incorrect because “vegetables” is a plural non-count noun and does not take an article. The definite article “the” is used with count nouns, not non-count nouns.
• Option D: no article, an, no article. This is incorrect because “vegetables” is a plural non-count noun and does not take an article. The indefinite article “an” is used with singular count nouns, not plural non-count nouns.
