Fill in the blank with the correct article.
I saw ____ one eyed person.

A

The correct article to fill in the blank in the sentence "I saw ____ one-eyed person" is "a". (OPTION 1)

Explanation:

• The word following the article is "one-eyed", which begins with a vowel sound ("o").
• When the following word begins with a vowel sound, we use the indefinite article "an".
• However, "one-eyed" is a compound adjective modifying the noun "person", and the vowel sound is not the determining factor here. Instead, we focus on the consonant sound of the first letter of the noun being modified, which is "V" in this case.
• Since "V" has a consonant sound, we use the indefinite article "a".
• So, the correct completion of the sentence is: "I saw a one-eyed person."
