    Question

    Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks.
    _____ Amazon rainforest is the largest rainforest in _____ world.

    A.

    The; the

    B.

    No article; a

    C.

    The; a

    D.

    An; no article

    Correct option is A

    The correct option to fill in the blank is (a) The; the.

    Explanation:
    'The' is used before the names of unique geographical features like 'Amazon rainforest'. Similarly, 'the' is used before 'world' because there is only one world (unique object).

    Example: The Nile is the longest river in the world.

    Information Booster:
    Definite article 'the' is mandatory before superlative adjectives (the largest) and unique entities (the sun, the moon, the world).

    So the correct answer is (a)
