- A.
  
  A
- B.
  
  An
- C.
  
  The
- D.
  
  Nothing
Correct Answer
C. The

Explanation
The use of "the" before "Japanese language" suggests that the speaker is referring to a specific Japanese language, implying that there is only one Japanese language. This implies that the Japanese language is difficult to learn in general, rather than just one specific aspect or dialect of the language.

  A
- B.

- C.

- D.
  
  Nothing
Correct Answer
D. Nothing

Explanation
The word "nothing" is the correct answer because when describing the amount of time spent on an activity, we use the word "nothing" to indicate that there is no specific amount or quantity. In this case, it means that he did not spend any specific amount of time learning English in his spare time.

  Nothing
Correct Answer
C. The

Explanation
The correct answer is "the" because it is used to refer to a specific noun, in this case, the piano. "The" is used when the noun being referred to is already known or has been mentioned before. Since it is specified that he is good at playing the piano, it implies that there is a specific piano that he is good at playing.

- C.
  
  The
- D.
  
  Nothing
Correct Answer
C. The

Explanation
The correct answer is "the" because when referring to a specific person or thing, we use the definite article "the". In this case, Lincoln is a specific person, so we use "the" before his title "President of the United States".

- C.

Correct Answer
A. Nice a

Explanation
The correct answer is "nice a". This is because when expressing admiration or emphasizing the quality of someone or something, the word "a" is used before the adjective. In this case, the adjective "nice" is being used to describe the girl, so "nice a" is the correct phrase to use.

- C.
  
  the --- ___ the
- D.
  
  the --- ___
Correct Answer
D. the --- ___

Explanation
The correct answer is "the --- ___". In this sentence, the first blank should be filled with "the" because it refers to a specific daytime that the person is used to sleeping in. The second blank is left empty because it is not necessary to include an article before "night" in this context.

- A.
  
  An --- a
- B.
  
  A --- a
- C.
  
  a --- an
- D.
  
  An --- an
Correct Answer
A. An --- a

Explanation
The correct answer is "an --- a" because the word "hour" begins with a vowel sound, so it is appropriate to use the article "an" before it. However, the word "half" begins with a consonant sound, so it is appropriate to use the article "a" before it.
