There was an gang of thieves spotted at our local bank, make sure to be careful.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. There was an gang.
The article "a" is used before words that begin with a consonant sound, and "gang" starts with a consonant sound. Therefore, "a gang" is the correct form, not "an gang."
"An" is used before words starting with a vowel sound, such as "an apple" or "an hour."
