Question

Fill in the blank with the correct option:
He is ______ honourable man.
A. A
B. The
C. An
D. Much

Answer 1

Hint: A, an and the are the articles.

Complete step by step answer:
Option A) A – is an incorrect answer because ‘a’ is used before the words that begins with a consonant sound. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) The – is an incorrect answer because ‘the’ is used with reference to something specific such as specific person or place. This sentence does not talk about a specific honourable man, hence 'the' will not be used. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) An – is the correct answer because “an” is used before words that begin with a vowel sound. The word honourable begins with a vowel sound (o) because H is silent, similar to the pronunciation of 'hour.' Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
Option D) Much – is an incorrect answer because 'much' does not complete the sentence meaningfully and ‘much’ is not the article. Thus, this is the incorrect answer.
He is an honourable man.

So, the correct answer is “Option C”.

Note:
 In this sentence it is very important to have complete knowledge about the articles and their uses. ‘A' and 'An' are indefinite articles and 'the' is the only definite article in the English language.
