1. ________ is used before ‘university’ 2. ________ is used before ‘hour’

A.
An, A
B.
A, An
Answer
C.
The, A
D.
An, The

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
"A" is used before words that begin with a consonant sound.
"An" is used before words that begin with a vowel sound.

The word "university" starts with a consonant sound (/juːnɪˈvɜːrsɪti/), so we use "a" before it.

The word "hour" starts with a vowel sound (/aʊər/), so we use "an" before it.

Therefore, the correct answer is: Option B: A, An

Remember this simple rule to use articles correctly: Choose "a" for consonant sounds and "an" for vowel sounds.
