Correct Answer: (B) the, the
This is a famous quotation by John Dryden: "None but the brave deserve the fair."
Article usage in this context tests advanced knowledge of "the" with adjectives used as nouns.
Full sentence: "None but the brave deserve the fair."
Meaning: Only the courageous/brave people deserve the beautiful/fair people.
Why "the" is used before both:
— "The brave" = "brave people" in general (adjective + the = collective noun group)
— "The fair" = "fair/beautiful people" in general
— When "the" is placed before an adjective, it makes it refer to a whole class/group
— Example: the rich = rich people; the poor = poor people; the brave = brave people
More Examples of "The + Adjective = Noun Group":
— The old, the young, the sick, the injured
— The rich get richer, the poor get poorer.
— The meek shall inherit the earth.
Why others are wrong:
✗ "a brave" — "a" is specific singular, but "brave" here means all brave people
✗ No article — would sound ungrammatical in standard English
