in (the) picture!

0We have an exercise in our woorkbook, we did it, and a friend of us, an English teacher too, said that the use of the definite article is wrong in that case. What do you friends think? 02br
02br
00The sentence is " in (the) picture - the exercise has some pictures and there are several questions about it, for example, How many elephants are there in (the) picture two? 02br
02br
00The answer should be "In (the) picture two there are three elephants", or something like that. 02br
02br
00She said that the article isn´t need in that case, but I´ve douts about it. 02br
02br
00Thanks, 02br
