Choose the correct article: He is ____ honest man.
- A. a
- B. an
- C. the
- D. no article
Explanation
The choice depends on the sound rather than the letter, and honest begins with a vowel sound because the h is silent, so an is correct. The same reasoning gives a university and a one rupee note, where the spelling begins with a vowel but the sound does not. Always say the word aloud before choosing.
