Fill in the blank with the correct article: ‘She is ___ university student.’

Explanation

The choice between ‘a’ and ‘an’ depends on the sound that begins the following word, not simply its first letter. Although ‘university’ begins with the vowel letter ‘u,’ it is actually pronounced with a consonant ‘y’ sound at the start, so it correctly takes ‘a’ rather than ‘an,’ just as ‘a European country’ also takes ‘a’ for the same reason.
