Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable word in the sentence below:
His dream is to study in _____ university.

• A. a
• B. an
• C. the
• D. no article

Hint:

Focus on sound, not spelling—“university” starts with a “yu” sound, so use “a”.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Use the article {a} before words that begin with a consonant sound.
Step 1: Check the word “university”.
\[ {University} { starts with sound “yu” (a consonant sound)} \]
Step 2: Choose correct article.

• a → used before consonant sounds \checkmark
• an → used before vowel sounds $\times$
• the → specific reference $\times$
• no article $\times$ incorrect here

Hence, the correct answer is a.
