  9. In question 9 the water is wrong because it is a material noun and we can not use article before material noun

    Reply
    • we can because here we are talking about specific water

      Reply
    • the water is suitable here in this case as it implies to an specific idea. it is not about water found everywhere , but the water found there only.

      Reply
    • Yes you are right we don't use "The" with material noun but here it is said that ….water in that pool is very tasty….so this makes the water specific.So when we talk about something specifically we use"The".
      For example – 1.The grass in that field is more greener.
      The water in that pond is so cold.,etc.
      Hope you understand
