He said, "It is . . . . . . . . honour to be invited in . . . . . . . . university as renowned as this."
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Use 'an' before words such as "hour" or "honour" 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". The word 'University' has consonant sound 'yoo'. Hence, 'a' is used.

Anu works at . . . . . . . . Reliance store.
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
In this sentence, "Reliance store" refers to a specific store, so it should be preceded by the definite article "the." "A" is used before singular countable nouns when they are mentioned for the first time, "an" is used before singular countable nouns beginning with a vowel sound, and "none of the above" is not correct in this context.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Anu works at the Reliance store."
