Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

How did you like living on _________ island for six months?

Correct option is B

The correct option to fill in the blank is (B) an.

Explanation:

The word “island” begins with a vowel sound (/aɪ/), so the article “an” is used before it for correct pronunciation and grammatical consistency.

Example: How did you like living on an island for six months?

Explain why other options are incorrect:

• A: Used before consonant sounds, not suitable here.
• No word required: Article is mandatory before singular countable noun.
• The: Used when the island is known/specified, which is not the case here.

Information Booster: Use “an” before vowel sounds (a, e, i, o, u) and “a” before consonant sounds regardless of spelling.
