Answer 2

Answer:

An umbrella is  a  useful thing.

Explanation:

When a noun is specific or ambiguous, it is defined through the use of articles.

There are two types of indefinite articles. It is the letter "a" when it precedes a word containing a consonant. It is the word a when a word with a vowel at the beginning comes before it. The indefinite article indicates when a word relates to a general idea rather than a particular thing.

When words with vowels are present, the indefinite article "A" is used. Despite having a vowel in the beginning ('u'), the word 'useful' actually has a consonant sound. In light of this, this is the best choice.

hence 'a' is the correct article which is applied in the given sentence.
