- Published on 06 Feb 17

a. 1
b. 2
c. 3
d. 4
e. 5

ANSWER: 3
 
Add ‘the’ before ‘higher’. In this case, the sentence must be improved with use of definite article ‘the’.

The correct sentence should be: The greater the demand, the higher the price.

The article ‘the’ is used when necessary, to make any singular countable noun, plural countable noun or uncountable noun, definite.

Examples:
article one
