Fill in the blank with the correct article.
She is ________ honest girl.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → an
Complete sentence: She is an honest girl. In “honest” the h is silent, so the word begins with the vowel sound “o”.
| Option | When to use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) a | comes before a consonant sound | Ravi bought a house near the station. |
| (2) an (answer) | before a vowel sound. The first sound of the next word, not its first letter, decides between “a” and “an” | We waited for an hour at the bus stop. |
| (3) the | points to one particular person or thing already known. Here no particular girl is pointed out. The sentence only tells us what kind of girl she is | The girl in the red dress is my cousin. |
| (4) None of these | – | – |
