SSC GD 2019 PYQ — Question 7

SSC GD Constable (English) - 18 Feb 2019 Shift 1 • English • Q7

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.

__________ example helps understand a concept better.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. An.

  • 'A' is used before words that start with consonant sounds (“a sample” or “a model”), even if the consonant sound is made by a vowel (“a unit”). Conversely, 'an' is used before words that start with vowel sounds (“an equation” or “an element”), even if the word starts with a silent consonant (“an hour”).
  • In the given statement, "Example" starts with a vowel sound hence, "An" will be the correct article here.

Hence, the chosen option will be the correct choice.

Correct Sentence:-

An example helps understand a concept better.
