The object of the sentence is a noun phrase, which is a group of words that functions as a noun. In this case, the noun phrase is &#8220;their marriage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Noun phrases can be either countable or uncountable. Countable nouns refer to things that can be counted, such as people, cars, or houses. Uncountable nouns refer to things that cannot be counted, such as water, air, or love.<\/p>\n<p>Marriage is an uncountable noun. This means that it cannot be preceded by an article, such as &#8220;a&#8221; or &#8220;an.&#8221; If we were to use an article in this sentence, it would make the sentence sound strange. For example, &#8220;Ron and Brenda got married but a marriage didn&#8217;t last very long.&#8221; This sentence sounds strange because it is trying to count something that cannot be counted.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the correct answer is D. no article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;a&#8221; option2=&#8221;an&#8221; option3=&#8221;the&#8221; option4=&#8221;no article&#8221; correct=&#8221;option4&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[665],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12400","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","no-featured-image-padding"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v23.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ron and Brenda got married but . . . . . . . . marriage didn&#039;t last very long.
