Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Use 'an' before words such as "hour" which sound like they start with a vowel even if the first letter is a consonant. Also use 'an' before letters and numbers which sound like they begin with a vowel, such as "F" or "8". Here MP begins with 'em' and therefore 'an' article will be used. 'Member' starts with a consonant sound and therefore the second blank will take 'a'.
