I disagree. Two and three fit "the" as well. It forms a tight morphological bond with the following word. It's attached to the beginning of noun phrase. -- "It has been postulated that, given an infinite number of monkeys bashing away at an infinite number of keyboards, we could eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare.
