Answer:

The incorrect option is:

B) She is an very important engineer.

Step-by-step explanation:

In English, we have two indefinite articles: "a" and "an". They are both used to refer to a singular unspecified noun. However, there is a difference between them. "A" is used before consonant sounds. "An" is used before vowel sounds. For example:

- a fox;

- an orange;

- a house;

- an umbrella.

For that reason, the incorrect option is "B. She is an very important engineer." "Very" begins with a consonant sound and, therefore, should be preceded by "a". The correct sentence would be:

- She is a very important engineer.
