Yesterday __________ European called at my office.
Answer: A
The answer is a: Yesterday a European called at my office.
The visitor is one unidentified person, so the indefinite article is needed. The choice between a and an depends on the sound, not the spelling, of the next word. European begins with the sound 'yoo', a consonant sound, so it takes a, as in a university, a uniform.
'An European' is the common slip of judging by the vowel letter E. 'The' would refer to a European already known to the listener, and 'no article' is not possible before a singular countable noun.
