Shuffled sentence, the smoke vs a smoke
I am trying to work on a shuffled sentence. I got it as 'A smoke rose from the fire'. But the answer says 'The smoke rose from a fire.
Similarly , another sentence has 'A large spider climbed the wall' as correct.
Is there any rule around using 'The' with inanimate objects like smoke?
Kindly elaborate. Many thanks in advance.
