Correct option is B
The correct option to fill in the blank is
(b) an.
Detailed Explanation (English):
• The choice of “a/an” depends on the
sound, not the letter.
• “M.L.A.” is pronounced as “em-el-ay” and begins with a vowel sound
/em/.
• Therefore, we use
an before “M.L.A.”
Correct sentence:
My father is an M.L.A. from Varanasi.
Grammatical Rule Used (English):
• Use “an” before words that begin with a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u sounds).
• Use “a” before words that begin with a consonant sound.
Grammatical Rule Used (Hindi):
• “a/an” का चयन अक्षर से नहीं,
उच्चारण (sound) से होता है।
• “M.L.A.” का उच्चारण “em…” से शुरू होता है जो vowel sound है, इसलिए
an सही है।
Example: He is an MBA student.
