He met with _____ accident today.

  • A.a
  • B.an
  • C.the
  • D.zero article

Answer: B

The answer is an: He met with an accident today.

Accident is a singular countable noun mentioned for the first time, so it needs the indefinite article, and because it begins with a vowel sound (a-) the form is an. 'Meet with an accident' is the fixed expression.

A is used before a consonant sound, the would point to an accident already known to the listener, and zero article is wrong because a singular countable noun cannot stand without one.
