Answer 1

Answer:

Option a is the correct answer

Answer 2

Answer:

a) My uncle is an M.A in English.

Explanation:

Articles 'a', 'an', and 'the' are used before nouns considering many rules in mind. One of the rules is the rule of consonant and vowel. While using articles we follow the 'sound rule' in mind. If the sound is vowel, we use 'an' while using indefinite article. If the sound is consonant, we shall use 'a'. Some words starting with vowel make consonant sounds. Words such as 'university', 'useful', ’unique’, 'unicorn', etc. also fall in the category of words that start with a vowel letter; but their sound is consonant. Hence we use 'a' in front of these words. Some acronyms that start with letters 's', 'm', etc. they produce vowel sound. So we used 'an' with M.A.
