Hello! I'll be glad to help you with your questions.
1) In the sentence "The UN called on Egypt to end (the) violence and bloodshed," the use of the article "the" depends on the specific context and your intended meaning.
- If you are referring to violence and bloodshed in general, without specifying any particular instance, you would not use the article. Example: "The UN called on Egypt to end violence and bloodshed."
- If you are referring to specific violence and bloodshed that has been previously mentioned or is known to both the speaker and the listener, it is appropriate to use the article. Example: "The UN called on Egypt to end the violence and bloodshed that occurred last week."
2) Both options, a) "the British newspaper Daily Mirror" and b) "the British newspaper The Daily Mirror," are correct, but they have slightly different meanings.
- Option a) refers to a newspaper called "Daily Mirror" that is British.
- Option b) refers to a specific newspaper called "The Daily Mirror" that is British.
3) In the context of "riots on/in the territory of my country" and "riots in/on Egyptian territory," both prepositions "on" and "in" can be used, depending on the intended meaning:
- "On" suggests that the riots are happening directly on the surface or boundaries of the territory. Example: "There are riots on the territory of my country."
- "In" suggests that the riots are happening within or inside the territory. Example: "There are riots in Egyptian territory."
Remember, the choice of preposition can sometimes depend on the specific context and what you want to convey.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
