A.
a, a
B.
the, the
C.
an, a
D.
an, an
AnswerAnswer: Option D
Solution
Answer: Option D
Solution:
"An" is used before words that begin with a vowel sound, not just a vowel letter."Orphan" begins with a vowel sound, so the correct article is "an".
"Heir" starts with a silent "h", and the word sounds like it begins with a vowel ("air"), so it also takes "an".
Therefore, the correct sentence is:
You should adopt an orphan as an heir.
Hence, the correct option is D: an, an
