Question

Fill in the blank in the following sentence by choosing the correct option out of the given ones.
My father is ______ M.L.A. from Varanasi.

A.

a

B.

an

C.

the

D.

some

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.
