    Question

    Select the most appropriate article(s) to fill in the blanks.
    I was in ____ state of unconsciousness for about half ____ hour.

    A.

    No article ; an

    B.

    a ; No article

    C.

    the ; a

    D.

    a ; an

    Correct option is D

    The correct option to fill in the blanks is (d) a ; an
    Explanation:
    · “a state”: “State” begins with a consonant sound → use “a”
    · “an hour”: Though “hour” begins with ‘h’, it is silent, so it starts with a vowel sound → use “an”
    Example: He was in a panic for an hour.
    Information Booster: Use “an” before words beginning with a vowel sound, not just a vowel letter.
