English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option 2 (the, the)
Explanation:
•
Sentence: "The death of the Prime Minister is being grieved by many people in the UK."
•
First blank: The noun 'death' is particularized by the following prepositional modifier "of the Prime Minister" (*the + noun + of* pattern), requiring the definite article 'The'.
