le is correct because frère means brother and is masculine.

______(the) homme

l' is correct because homme starts with an "H" which is a silent letter so we use the l'

Homme means man, if you know that, you may have chosen le, but in this case it would be the l'.

________ (the) poissons.

• le

• la

• l'

• les

Les is correct because poissons is plural. (Hopefully you remembered this means fish).

______(the) oncles.

• Le

• la

• l'

• les

Answer explanation

Les is correct because ONCLES is plural. It DOES start with a vowel, but we don't need to use the l' because we only use that to avoid vowels touching with the LE or LA. LeS does not have that problem because the last letter is a consonant.
