Switzerland is ...... European country.

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

Answer: B

The blank takes a: Switzerland is a European country.

The choice between a and an depends on the first sound of the next word, not its first letter. European begins with the consonant sound /j/ (as in you), so it takes a, like a university, a useful book, a one-day match.

An European is the trap, chosen because the word starts with a vowel letter. The would wrongly suggest the only European country, and some article is needed before the singular countable noun country.
