    Identify the sentence that correctly uses the indefinite article.
    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.
