The phrase "the zoo" refers to a specific zoo that both girls know about. Frankly, I can't think of an instance in which "the" would not be used with "zoo" in this context.
4 and 7 are not used.
The other responses are fine.
1. A few day ago, I went to the zoo with Chanmi and Mina.
-------------------------------
Why is 'the' used before 'zoo' in this sentence? Does 'the zoo' mean the specific zoo which both girls know? Or is zoo' in generic use?
===============================
2. Mina said yes.
3. Mina said, "Yes."
4. Mina said in the affirmative.
(Are the three the same in meaning? Is #2 most commonly used?)
5. Mina said no.
6. Mina said, "No."
7. Mina said in the negative.
(Are the three the same in meaning? Is #5 the most common one?)
