  2. an
  3. a
  4. this

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: a

Explanation: ✅ Correct Answer: C. a 📚 Explanation: We use the article 'a' before the word 'unique' because it begins with a consonant 'y' sound. Even though 'u' is a vowel letter, the sound determines the choice of the article. This is the same rule that applies to words like 'university' or 'union'. Choosing 'a' ensures the sentence follows the phonological rules of the language.
