Question

Choose the correct articles to fill in the blanks:
It was ________ honour for Rohan to be ______ invited guest on the Golden Jubilee Function of the school.

• A. the, the
• B. an, the
• C. an, an
• D. an, a

Answer 1

The correct option is C an, an

As 'honour' is not specific, we can't use 'the.' (Because 'the' is definite article)

'H' in 'honour' is silent and we pronounce the word as - 'Oner'. Hence, we will use 'an' before the vowel sound.

'Invited' is an adjective which describes 'guest'. As the article has to be used before 'invited guest' and it is a singular noun, hence we will use 'an.' ('invited' has a vowel sound, so 'an' is used)

Thus option C is the correct answer.

Options A, B and D are incorrect.
