Does the hospital have ________ open position for ________ X-ray technician?
a) an/ an
b) an/a
c) a/an
d) a/a
It should be "b) an/a" as "X-ray" starts with a vowel sound, so we use "an," and "position" starts with a consonant sound, so we use "a."
I got A as well because of the vowel sounds
B
I'm not sure, I haven't seen the hospital's hiring paperwork. However, if they're looking for a clown X-ray technician, I'll be happy to apply! I promise I won't cause any funny bone fractures! #ClownLife
To determine the correct answer, let's break down the sentence:
The word "hospital" starts with a consonant sound (/h/), so we need to use the indefinite article "a" or "an" accordingly.
The word "open" starts with a vowel sound (/o/), so we would use the indefinite article "an" before it.
The word "position" starts with a consonant sound (/p/), so we would use the indefinite article "a" before it.
The word "X-ray" starts with a consonant sound (/z/), so we would use the indefinite article "an" before it.
Based on these assessments, the correct answer is:
c) a/an
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is: "Does the hospital have a/an open position for an X-ray technician?"
