Question

Identify the sentence that correctly uses the indefinite article.

A.

She is a Indian artist married to an European engineer.

B.

She is an Indian artist married to an European engineer.

C.

She is an Indian artist married to a European engineer.

D.

She is a Indian artist married to a European engineer.

Correct option is C

The correct sentence is (c) "She is an Indian artist married to a European engineer."

    • The indefinite article "an" is used before words that start with a vowel sound, such as "Indian" (which starts with a vowel sound 'I').
    • The article "a" is used before words that start with a consonant sound, such as "European" (which, despite starting with the letter 'E', has a consonant sound 'Yoo').

Why other options are incorrect:

  • (a): "a Indian" is incorrect because "Indian" starts with a vowel sound and should have "an" before it.
  • (b): "an European" is incorrect because "European" starts with a consonant sound, so "a" should be used.
  • (d): "a Indian" is incorrect for the same reason as option A.
