Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word:Oxford is________Eng...
Explanation:
Oxford is an English university because the word "Oxford" starts with a vowel sound.
Reasoning:
The choice between using "a" or "an" depends on the sound that follows the article. If the word that follows the article starts with a vowel sound, "an" is used. If the word that follows the article starts with a consonant sound, "a" is used.
In this case, the word "English" starts with a vowel sound, represented by the letter "e." Since "an" precedes vowel sounds, "an" is the appropriate choice. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A', "an."
Example:
Here are a few examples to further illustrate the use of "a" and "an" in sentences:
1. I have a dog. (The word "dog" starts with a consonant sound represented by the letter "d.")
2. She has an umbrella. (The word "umbrella" starts with a vowel sound represented by the letter "u.")
3. He is a European. (The word "European" starts with a consonant sound represented by the letter "y.")
