Объяснение:
В первом случае мы пропускаем артикль, т.к. говорится о предмете впервые, по правилу должны бы поставить неопределенный артикль a, но в данном контексте этот артикль означал бы кусок любого пирога, а у нас есть конкретный пирог, но the все равно нельзя поставить, т.к. речь о пироге зашла впервые. А вот в ответе на вопрос мы ставим определенный артикль the , т.к. это знакомый нам предмет, о котором мы уже разговаривали, и чтобы собеседник нас понял, какой торт мы имеем в виду, мы указываем ему артиклем на конкретно этот торт, а не какой-либо другой (мало ли, вы сидите в кафе и там много разных десертов, включая торты и пироги)
Во втором случае в первом предложении пропускаем артикль, так как далее идет пояснение с этажом, а вот во втором предложении другая ситуация: мы всегда ставим определенный артикль the перед номером какого-либо этажа, улицы и так далее, это такое правило , например - I took the first history class this semester and i enjoyed it a lot. I used to live on the 10th floor, but now i live on the 5th floor. Надеюсь, все понятно, удачи тебе!

Unfortunately, the number of rich people and oligarchs as well as the poor is growing, and the economy is falling. However, the President as a head of Government periodically offers various solutions to help the population: hotlines, social packages, demographic programs, etc.
