Fill in the blank with the appropriate article. ____ famous poem 'Ode to a Nightingale' by ____ Romantic poet John Keats.
The, the
The first blank needs "The" because the poem is a specific, named work ('Ode to a Nightingale') already known to the reader, so the definite article is required.
The second blank needs "the" because "Romantic poet John Keats" refers to one particular, identified person, again calling for the definite article.
"An, the" is wrong: the poem is specific, not any unspecified poem, so the indefinite "An" does not fit the first blank.
"A, the" is wrong for the same reason; "A" wrongly treats the named poem as non-specific.
"A, a" is wrong on both counts, as both references are to specific, named entities.
Hence, the correct pair of articles is The, the.
