Question

He is ______ honorable man.

• A. a
• B. an
• C. the
• D. none

Hint:

Check pronunciation: use “an” before a silent ‘h’ (e.g., an hour, an honest man, an honorable mention).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Rule for indefinite articles before vowel sound.
We use an before words beginning with a vowel sound.
Step 2: Application to “honorable.”
Although “honorable” starts with consonant letter ‘h’, the ‘h’ is silent in pronunciation, so it begins with the vowel sound /ɒ/. Therefore we use “an honorable man.” \[ \boxed{\text{an honorable man}} \]
