Choose the correct alternative to fill in the blank.
There is __________ hourly tram service on this route.
Answer: B
The article is an: There is an hourly tram service on this route.
The choice between a and an depends on the first sound. The h in hourly is silent, so the word begins with a vowel sound (our) and takes an, like hour, honest and heir.
A hourly goes by the spelling rather than the sound. The would point to a service already known to the listener, but the sentence introduces it for the first time.
