Default Re: Determiner

Are these correct? What do these mean?
1. I want six slices of (the/an) apple. (How come this is correct without the determiner?)
2. I want six slices of apple.

3. I can do all sorts of things.
4. I can do all sorts of thing. (Why is this correct without the determiner?)

5. It functions as (a/the) modification. (Why isn't 'a/the' required? 'Modification' is not a count noun?)
