Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: an

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: B) an šŸ“š Explanation: The word 'honourable' begins with a silent 'h', meaning the first sound produced is the vowel sound 'o'. In English, the choice of 'an' over 'a' is determined strictly by the initial sound of the word rather than the letter itself. Therefore, 'an' is the grammatically correct indefinite article to use here.
