Fill in the blank with the most appropriate article.
He is considered __________ heir to a vast fortune.
Answer: B
The right article is an: 'He is considered an heir to a vast fortune.'
The choice between a and an depends on the sound that follows, not the letter. In heir the h is silent, so the word begins with a vowel sound (like 'air'), and takes an, as do an hour and an honest man.
A would be correct only before a consonant sound. The would mean one particular, already identified heir, which the sentence does not set up, and 'No article needed' leaves a singular countable noun without the determiner it requires.
