He is ....... honourable man.
Answer: A
The blank takes an: He is an honourable man.
The h in honourable is silent, so the word begins with a vowel sound, and an is used before a vowel sound: an honour, an hour, an heir, an honest man.
A honourable follows the letter rather than the sound. The would point to one particular man already known to the reader, which the sentence does not, and a singular countable noun such as man needs an article, so 'no article' is wrong.
