Question

Replace the underlined article in the given sentence, wherever required, by choosing from the options given:
The honest person is respected everywhere.

• A. An
• B. A
• C. No change
• D. No article required

Answer 1

The correct option is A An

Option B - 'A' is used before words that start with a consonant sound. 'Honest' has a silent 'h' and it is pronounced as 'onest'. Thus option B is incorrect.

Option C - 'The' is used with definite nouns. The given sentence explains about people in general by giving a general example. Thus option C is incorrect.

Option D - We don't use articles when the sentence usually has a proper noun. 'Honest person' is not a proper noun, thus option D is incorrect.

Option A - 'An' is used before the singular nouns that have a vowel sound, and it can be used here to explain the general sentence. Thus option A is the correct answer.

An honest person is respected everywhere,'
