Necessity for definite article?
Hi. If you have words like "innermost", "utmost" and "perfect" modifying a noun, do you think we need to precede them with definite articles? I think for the word "perfect" (when we have it modifying a noun) we don't need to precede it with the definite article like below but the indefinite article "a" can be used.
a perfect answer
But how about for the phrases with the words "innermost" and "utmost"? Could we use indefinite articles with them? Could we possibly think of them as superlatives?

Offhand, I'd say the definite article is needed just as much as the indefinite article-- if the noun is countable.
