Which sentence correctly uses the article ‘an’ before a silent ‘h’?

Explanation

The choice between the articles ‘a’ and ‘an’ depends on the sound that immediately follows, not the letter itself. Because the ‘h’ in ‘honest’ is silent, the word actually begins with a vowel sound, so it correctly takes ‘an’ rather than ‘a.’ This rule is frequently tested with other silent-h words like ‘hour’ and ‘heir.’ Explore more English MCQs on mcqstutor to keep practicing.
