Question

Germany is _____ European country.

• A. a
• B. the
• C. an
• D. none of these

Answer 1

Answer:

A. a

The choice between "a" and "an" depends on the sound that follows the article. You use "a" before words that begin with a consonant sound, and you use "an" before words that begin with a vowel sound. "European" (y sound) begins with a consonant sound, not a vowel sound.
