Question

Read the sentence.

The wingspan of a condor can reach nine feet.
Which word is the definite article?
a.of
b.nine
c.can
d.the

Answer 1

The definite article here is "the"

the other article in the sentence is "a" - but it's indefinite.

"nine" is a numeral, "can" a verb and "of" - a preposition

Answer 2

d- the

Step-by-step explanation:

In the phrase ,The wingspan, the definite article refers specifically to the condor's wingspan. If we say: "Big birds' wingspans have different lenghts", we are generalising our idea of wingspans . We are talking about the wingspans of birds in general, so we are not using the . But, if we want to talk about a bird in particular, we have to make the information definite and use the definite article.
