Question:

Fill in the blank with the correct article in the following sentence.

She saw _____ one-eyed monster in her nightmare.

Options:

a

an

the

no article

Correct Answer:

a

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → a

  • The word "one-eyed" begins with the vowel letter "o", but it is pronounced with a consonant sound ("wun-eyed").
  • Since the article "an" is used before words that start with a vowel sound and "a" is used before words that start with a consonant sound, the correct choice is:  "a one-eyed monster"

 "She saw a one-eyed monster in her nightmare."
