  4. no article required

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: an

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: B) an šŸ“š Explanation: The choice between 'a' and 'an' depends on the vowel sound of the following word, not just the starting letter. Although 'honest' starts with the consonant 'h', the 'h' is silent, and the word begins with a vowel sound 'o'. Therefore, the indefinite article 'an' must be used to ensure smooth phonetic transition.
