Fill in with most suitable article:
Aluminium is _______ useful metal
Answer: D
The suitable article is a: 'Aluminium is a useful metal.'
The choice between a and an depends on the first sound of the next word, not its first letter. 'Useful' begins with the consonant sound /y/ (yoo-sful), so it takes 'a', just as in 'a university' or 'a uniform'.
'An' would be used before a vowel sound. 'The' would point to one particular metal already known, which does not fit a general statement. 'Very' is not an article, and 'Aluminium is very useful metal' is ungrammatical.
