The manager asked for a volunteer, and Sara said, 'I am ____ honest person, so I will tell you.' Choose the correct article.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. an
- Step 1: Choose the article by the first sound of the next word, not its spelling. Step 2. 'Honest' begins with a vowel sound because the 'h' is silent, so 'an' is used. Answer: an. Why not the others: 'a' is used before consonant sounds; 'the' would point to one specific honest person; 'one' is a number, not an article.
