Answer 1

1. Can you pay me back the money I lent you? In this sentence, the article "the" should be inserted before "money" to specify which money is being referred to - the money that the speaker lent to the listener.

2. I know he is a doctor. In this sentence, the indefinite article "a" should be inserted before "doctor" to indicate that the person being referred to is one doctor among many.

3. The Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in the United Kingdom. In this sentence, the definite article "the" should be inserted before "Ben Nevis" to indicate that a specific mountain called "Ben Nevis" is being referred to. Additionally, the definite article "the" should be used before "highest mountain" because it is a unique title for a specific mountain in a specific location.

4. Some people still believe the world is flat. In this sentence, no article is needed before "world" because it is a general concept being referred to. It is not a specific or unique instance of a world that requires an article.

5. In some countries, murder is punishable by death. In this sentence, the indefinite article "some" should be inserted before "countries" to indicate that it is a certain but unspecified number of countries that have this punishment. Additionally, no article is needed before "murder" because it is a general concept being referred to. It is not a specific or unique instance of murder that requires an article.
