Multiple Choice Question

Identify the articles that correctly complete the following sentence.

We all laughed at the joke about_ honest man, even though it was immature attempt at humor.

an; a
an; an
a; an
a; a

Answer 1

The correct answer is "an; an".

The reason for this is that the word "honest" starts with a vowel sound (the 'h' is silent), so it requires the article "an" instead of "a". The word "attempt" also starts with a vowel sound, so it also requires the article "an". Therefore, the correct articles to complete the sentence are "an; an".
