SSC Stenographer 2025 PYQ — Question 148

SSC Stenographer - 07 Aug 2025 - Shift 1 • English • Q148

Which among the following sentences uses the article (if required) before the word 'honour' correctly?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Since "honour" begins with a vowel sound, and pronounced as a vowel, so the indefinite article "an" must be used.

While "the" is used for specific nouns, the phrase "It is an honour..." is a standard idiomatic expression used to show gratitude or humility in a general sense.

The correct sentence is: "It is an honour to be here."
