Select the correct article to fill in the blank of the sentence given below :

I met ______ European artist at the exhibition.

  • A.an
  • B.the
  • C.a
  • D.No article needed

Answer: C

The correct article is a: I met a European artist.

The choice between a and an depends on the first sound, not the first letter. European begins with a 'yoo' sound, a consonant sound, so it takes a, as in a university or a uniform.

An is the trap, since the word starts with a vowel letter. The would refer to a particular artist already known to the listener, and a singular countable noun here needs an article.
