Identify the error in the sentence.
He was late to an meeting scheduled at 9 AM.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (A) an
Concept (Article by Sound) Article का चुनाव शब्द की वर्तनी से नहीं, बल्कि उसकी ध्वनि से होता है। Meeting का आरंभ व्यंजन ध्वनि /m/ से होता है, इसलिए उसके साथ a आएगा, an नहीं। अतः त्रुटि भाग (1) में है।
✓ सही वाक्य: He was late to a meeting scheduled at 9 AM.
Concept (Article by Sound) The choice of article depends on the sound of the word, not its spelling. Meeting begins with the consonant sound /m/, so it takes a, not an.
✓ Correct sentence He was late to a meeting scheduled at 9 AM.
