She wants to buy . . . . . . . . house with a garden.
Answer:
a
The noun 'house' begins with a consonant sound, and since it is introduced for the first time, the indefinite article 'a' is appropriate. 'An' would be incorrect because the initial sound is consonantal. 'The' would imply a particular house already known to both parties. Hence, 'a house' is correct.

Answer:
The word 'egg' begins with a vowel sound, so 'an' is correct. This is the first mention of the egg, making the indefinite article suitable. 'A egg' would be grammatically wrong. 'The egg' would mean one already known. Thus, 'an egg' is the right choice.

Answer:
The word 'hour' begins with a silent 'h' and therefore starts with a vowel sound. This requires the use of 'an'. 'A hour' would be grammatically incorrect. 'The hour' would mean a specific one already mentioned. Thus, 'an hour-long journey' is correct.
