Select the most appropriate option to improve the bold part of the sentence.
He is a honest man.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The indefinite article "an" is used before words that begin with a vowel sound.
Silent 'h': In the word "honest," the letter "h" is silent, meaning the word begins with the vowel sound /ɒ/ (as in "on").
Correction: Since "honest" is pronounced like a vowel, "a" must be replaced with "an."
The improved sentence is: "He is an honest man."
