Question

Shankarappa is ___ M. L. A.
Fill in the blank using correct article.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Shankarappa is an M. L. A.

Answer 2

The correct sentence would be: "Shankarappa is an M. L. A."

• This is because "M" is pronounced with a sound similar to a vowel, so it is treated as if it begins with a vowel sound.
• In English grammar, the indefinite article "an" is used before words that start with a vowel sound.
• In English grammar, the choice between the indefinite articles "a" and "an" depends on the sound at the beginning of the following word. If the next word begins with a vowel sound, we use "an"; if it begins with a consonant sound, we use "a".
• The letters "M" and "L" in "M. L. A." are pronounced as individual letters, not as a word, so we need to consider the sound of the first letter "M".
• The sound of "M" at the beginning of a word is a consonant sound. However, in this particular case, the pronunciation of the letter "M" is more like a vowel sound, similar to the sound of the letter "E".
• Since the sound of "M" in "M. L. A." is similar to a vowel sound, we use the indefinite article "an" before it. Therefore, the correct sentence is "Shankarappa is an M. L. A."
