Answer 2

The truth is that whenever I eat an orange or a pear, I get very thirsty.

The word 'the' is the definite article.

Step-by-step explanation:

Articles are used before nouns to specify the definiteness of the word. There are two types of articles, the definite article, and the indefinite article. 'The' is a definite article while 'a' and 'an' are definite articles. The definite article is used when the listener is assumed to know about the thing which the speaker is referring to.
