Questions and Answers

1.

I am________server.
- A.
  
  A
- B.
  
  An
Correct Answer
A. A

Explanation
In the given sentence, the word "server" starts with a consonant sound (/s/), so the correct article to use is "a". "An" is used before words that start with a vowel sound.

Rate this question:
2.

Lydia is_____actress.
- A.
  
  A
- B.
  
  An
Correct Answer
B. An

Explanation
In this sentence, the correct answer is "an" because the word "actress" starts with a vowel sound, specifically the sound /æ/. When a word starts with a vowel sound, we use "an" instead of "a" to make the sentence flow more smoothly. Therefore, "an" is the appropriate choice to complete the sentence correctly.

Rate this question:
3.

Seth is _______taxi driver.
- A.
  
  A
- B.
  
  An
Correct Answer
A. A

Explanation
The correct answer is "a". In this sentence, "taxi" begins with a consonant sound (/t/), so the indefinite article "a" is used before it. The indefinite article "an" is used before words that begin with a vowel sound (/a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, /u/), so it would be incorrect in this case.

Rate this question:
4.

She is_____construction worker.
- A.
  
  A
- B.
  
  An
Correct Answer
A. A

Explanation
The correct answer is "a" because "construction" starts with a consonant sound, and the article "a" is used before words that begin with a consonant sound.

- B.

Correct Answer

Explanation
The correct answer is "an" because the word "office" begins with a vowel sound (/ɒ/), and when a word begins with a vowel sound, we use "an" instead of "a" to make the sentence flow more smoothly.
