When I was a kid, I spent ___ summer on a beach in Florida. Now, I have to work ___ every summer. the, an the, no article a, an the, the

The correct answer is "When I was a kid, I spent a summer on a beach in Florida. Now, I have to work every summer." So, the correct choice is "a, no article".

Here's why:

1. "a summer" is used because you're referring to one unspecified summer. It's not a specific summer that the listener already knows about, so "the" would be incorrect. "An" would also be incorrect because "summer" doesn't start with a vowel sound.

2. "every summer" is correct because "every" is used before a singular noun to mean "each". No article is needed in this case. "The" would be incorrect because you're not referring to a specific summer.
