How to use "the" accurately
While I'm doing some exercises in a book (one of Cambridge publications) I got a question in which we have to rewrite a given sentence by using a given word.
The sentence
His main role is to assess how good the service is for customers.
The word need to added
quality
The answer
His main role is to assess the quality of service for/to customers.
However, my answer was the following sentence.
His main role is to assess the quality of the service for/to customers.
My question is why they removed "the" before service? Furthermore, because they have added "the" before "quality", does it imply that the service is the one that we have already told?
