Underline the determiners in the following passage.
What kind of a pencil do you use? Do you use a pencil made of wood? Have you wondered why some pencils have six sides and some pencils are rounded? Most pencils are made of wood. They can make more six-sides pencils out of one piece of wood than rounded pencils. It is convenient for the user as well. The chances of a six-sides pencil rolling off a desk or a table are less. So such pencils break less as compared to rounded ones. This way most six-sided pencil scores over the rounded one.
