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.
