Hi everyone! I am trying to understand if I need a or the article in the following sentence and why:
There are also tests with not the best translations from other languages, and then THE test taker is not always able to understand THE question correctly.
So, it's an imaginary situation, but at the same time it's about an abstract test taker who actually tries to pass a test. Do I need to use "the" or "a" here and why?
Thank you in advance!

Re: Articles
There is a particular test taker in mind in relation to the situation specified, hence the use of the definite article.
