अचूक उत्तर: पर्याय (3)
The correct answer is "a; the".
Explanation & Key Takeaways:
• In the first blank, we need an indefinite article "a" before restaurant because we're asking about any restaurant in general, not a specific one. This is why we choose "a" instead of "the".
• In the second blank, we use "the" before theatre if we're talking about a particular or specific theatre that both the speaker and listener are aware of. It denotes that there's assumed common knowledge about which theatre is being referred to.
Therefore, the correct answer is "option 3".
