___ youngest boy has just started going to school, ___ eldest boy is at ___ college. ?
Explanation
In English, definite articles ("the") are used to refer to specific nouns that are known to the speaker and the listener. In this case, "the youngest boy" and "the eldest boy" indicate specific boys within a defined group (presumably the speaker's children or contextually understood individuals). Thus, both instances require the definite article "the".
However, with "___ college," it is appropriate to omit the article. In this instance, "college" is being used in a general sense, referring to the concept or type of institution rather than a specific one. Therefore, we do not use "the" before "college."
Thus, the correct completion of the sentence is: 'The youngest boy has just started going to school, the eldest boy is at college.' This construction effectively conveys specific information about the boys while appropriately using articles based on their specificity and context.
