Completed passage: George Washington was the first president of America. This great man was obedient to his parents. At the age of 15, he decided to go for studies at an excellent school in Europe, where his brother was studying and had made all the preparations for crossing the Atlantic Ocean. He ordered his people to put his necessary things on the ship. As he was preparing to leave, he went to see his × mother. She was not happy thinking that her son had to struggle a lot to acquire × education only at 15. So, Washington did not go.

Notes: (a) 'obedient to' is the fixed preposition. (b) 'at the age of' is a fixed phrase. (d) 'an' is used before 'excellent', which begins with a vowel sound. (e) 'the' is used before 'preparations' because the preparations are specific. (f) 'the' is used before the name of an ocean. (h) no article is used after the possessive 'his'. (i) 'a lot' means 'much'. (j) no article is used before the uncountable noun 'education' in a general sense.
