Fatima is writing . . . . . . . . essay on pollution.
Answer:
The noun 'essay' begins with a vowel sound, so 'an' is required. Since it is the first mention, the indefinite article is suitable. 'A essay' would be grammatically incorrect. 'The essay' would mean one already specified. Therefore, 'an essay' is correct.

Sheikh Usman gave . . . . . . . . useful example.
Answer:
a
Although 'useful' begins with 'u', it has a 'yoo' consonant sound. This requires 'a'. 'An useful example' would be wrong. Since it is introduced for the first time, the indefinite article is suitable. Thus, 'a useful example' is correct.

Sheikh Hamid delivered . . . . . . . . inspiring lecture.
Answer:
The word 'inspiring' begins with a vowel sound, so 'an' is correct. Indefinite articles are used for first-time mentions. 'A inspiring lecture' would be grammatically incorrect. 'The lecture' would only work if it were already known. Therefore, 'an inspiring lecture' is correct.

The students recited . . . . . . . . Holy Quran in the assembly.
Answer:
Sacred texts like the Quran always take the definite article 'the'. This emphasizes their uniqueness and reverence. 'A Quran' or 'an Quran' would be grammatically wrong and contextually inappropriate. 'No article' would also leave the sentence incomplete. Thus, 'the Holy Quran' is correct.
