Question

She gave us _ _ _ _ outstanding example.

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

Hint:

Use \(an\) before vowel sounds, not only before vowel letters.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept:
The article \(an\) is used before words beginning with a vowel sound. The word \[ \text{outstanding} \] begins with a vowel sound.

Step 1: Identify the word after the blank. The word is \[ \text{outstanding} \] It begins with the sound of the vowel \(o\).

Step 2: Choose the article. Before a vowel sound, we use \[ an \] So the sentence becomes: \[ \text{She gave us an outstanding example.} \]

Step 3: Final answer. \[ \boxed{\text{an}} \]
