Question

He is _____ unique politician.

• A. an
• B. some
• C. a
• D. any

Answer 1

Answer:

C. a

The article "a" is used before words that begin with a consonant sound.

Although "unique" starts with the vowel letter u, it is pronounced as "yu-neek" (/juːniːk/), which begins with the consonant sound "y".

Therefore:

• ✔ a unique politician

• ✘ an unique politician

Examples:

• a unique idea

• a university

• a European country
