Answer 1

Ответ:

Jane went to the shop to buy a read.a an a the

Answer 2

Jane went to the shop to buy a book to read. In this sentence, the word "book" is a singular noun and it is not specific. Since it is not specific, we use the indefinite article "a" before the noun "book." The indefinite article "a" is used before singular nouns that start with a consonant sound.

We do not use the definite article "the" because Jane is not referring to a specific book. If she had a specific book in mind that she wanted to buy, then she would use the definite article "the." For example, if Jane said, "Jane went to the shop to buy the book she read about in the newspaper," she is referring to a specific book that was mentioned in the newspaper.

In summary, the correct answer is "a." Jane went to the shop to buy a book to read.
