Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Use 'an' before words such as "hour" which sound like they start with a vowel even if the first letter is a consonant. Also use 'an' before letters and numbers which sound like they begin with a vowel, such as "F" or "8". Here MP begins with 'em' and therefore 'an' article will be used. 'Member' starts with a consonant sound and therefore the second blank will take 'a'.

Peter has a fever because he has . . . . . . . . measles.
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option D
Solution:
We do not use any article before the names of certain diseases such as measles, mumps, cholera, malaria etc.

These diseases are considered uncountable and general in meaning, so they take no article.

For example: “He is suffering from malaria.” / “She has measles.”

Therefore, the correct sentence is: “Peter has a fever because he has measles.”
