I joined the experiment as a volunteer. Our mission was to transport a huge bluestone 240 miles to Stonehenge. We discovered dragging the bluestone was much more difficult than we expected. The boats were too small to transport it. Finally, the journey was delayed as the tired helpers dropped out. I think, next time they should invite more enthusiastic people, if they want to succeed.

Разбор: a volunteer — перед исчисляемым существительным в единственном числе нужен неопределённый артикль; a huge bluestone — предмет упоминается впервые; the bluestone — далее речь идёт уже о конкретном камне; the boats — определённые лодки, о которых уже известно из контекста; the tired helpers — конкретные помощники; more enthusiastic people — после сравнительной конструкции нужен more, без артикля.
