In the following sentence, there is a missing article. Select the missing article from the options given below:
Spain is ____European country.

A

The correct answer is OPTION 3 "a"

The sentence should read: "Spain is a European country."

Here 'a' is used because "European Nation" begins with vowel letter 'e' but it is pronounced with the consonant sound 'yu'.

'The' is used when the meaning is specific. Here European country is a collective and not used in any specific country.

"An' is used before words that began with a vowel sound (not spelling).
