Yes, the sentences are right. It's very difficult to say why the has been placed before English Bee as there is no context, but let's just say it sounds good. If it wasn't there, we might ask - with justification - why there is no article before English Bee.

Thank you.
"Why the" shall it be. I think the sentences should be or can be like this:
What day is Sports Day?
There are vases in some pictures.
In how many pictures are there vases?
Please arrange the questions in piles of similar difficulty levels. (level is a countable noun. No?)

Yes, level is countable, but within each pile is only one difficultly level. Although in that sentence, you could probably omit the word level altogether.

Thank you.
Then how would you make of the fact that a countable noun must have an article in front?
Please arrange the questions in piles of (a???) similar difficulty level.

RishonlyIt may very well be one. I wouldn't know, I have never heard the term 'fragmented sentence' and I don't have the vaguest idea what it means.BelieverOn what day is Sports Day?I feel this sentence is a fragmented sentence.
