Answer 1

                                                                                                                                   There was an hooting at night.

Explanation :

This is because the rule of English grammar tells that the indefinite article a is to be used before all words except those beginning with a vowel sound. Before those words beginning with a vowel sound, an is used. Since owl is pronounced as owl, it begins with a ‘vowel sound’ and therefore it is “an owl” and not ‘a owl’.
