Question

Although it is occasionally seen as the women’s-only form of exercise, yoga is for everyone. And men, especially those who don’t do much aerobic exercise, and others who spend a lot of time hunched over staring at screens, tend to need it more than anyone else.
Yoga provides not just the physical workout but also a mental and spiritual lift. “Some people have a out-of-date image of yoga,” says Joe Cowan, an yoga instructor from Peterborough. “The modern reality, however, is very different.”

Answer 1

This question requires us to find four grammatical mistakes in the passage, and all of them seem to be related to the use of articles, as seen below.

1. the women's-only form of exercise - a women's-only form of exercise
2. the physical workout - a physical workout
3. a out-of-date - an out-of-date
4. an yoga instructor - a yoga instructor

The correct use of articles

In the English language we have two types of articles:

• Definite article "the": Used before singular and plural nouns to refer to something specific.

• Indefinite articles "a" and "an": Used before singular nouns to refer to something not specific.

To have an idea of the difference between the two types of articles, compare the sentences below:

• I have adopted a cat. - "A cat" means I have adopted a cat that is not specific, one that I have never mentioned before.

• I have adopted the cat. "The cat" indicates that this is a specific cat, one that I have mentioned before and that I already had the intention of adopting.

Having that explanation in mind, we can now analyze each mistake found in the passage:

1. There is no reason to use "the" here. We are not talking about a specific "women's-only form of exercise."
2. The same applies to "the" as used in this sentence. There is not specific workout that yoga provides.
3. We should use "an" before words that begin with a vowel sound.
4. We should use "a" before words that begin with a consonant sound.

With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the answer provided above is correct.
