Answer and Explanation:

The articles a and an must be used before singular nouns only. Therefore, if we are talking about a plural noun, no article will be used, and we will fill in the blank with -. Also, it is important to pay attention to the first phoneme of the word immediately after the blank. If the first sound is a consonant sound, than we must use a. If it is a vowel sound, we must use an. Notice that what matters is the sound, not necessarily the spelling.

a) What a deep valley!

b) What - picturesque hills!

c) What a brilliant sky!

d) What a grassy field!

e) What a smooth rock!

f) What - nice parrots!

g) What a fresh air!

h) What - tall trees!

i) What a graceful swan!

k) What - rich flora and fauna!

l) What - attractive surroundings!

m)What a poor vegetation!

n) What a beautiful nature!

o) What an ugly animal!
