1st dash - an

2nd dash - a

Answer 2

Answer:

An umbrella is a useful thing.

Explanation:

Article is an eminent part of grammar as it determines the main subject of a sentence or the subordinate clause. Article is of three types, they are

1. The,
2. A and
3. An.

The is used before a definite proper noun or particular item.

An is used before any vowel (a,e,i,o,u).

A ia used with a consonant.

The above-mentioned word umbrella starts with 'u' a vowel, so an is used before umbrella.

Again, the word useful even though starts with a vowel but pronounced as a consonant, hence we use the article 'a' before it..
