The clerks rattle me, the wickets rattle me; the sight of _ money rattles me.
Correct answer: B. an
- A. a
- B. an
- C. the
- D. no article
Explanation
"One of the first records of famine was carved in granite by an Egyptian pharaoh."Here's why:- "an" is used before "Egyptian pharaoh" because it starts with a vowel sound /i/, and "an" is used before nouns starting with a vowel sound.- Using "an" implies that the speaker is referring to any Egyptian pharaoh, rather than a specific one.

About Articles
Articles determine whether a noun is general, specific, known or representative: “a,” “an,” “the” and the zero article each have distinct uses. Questions cover countable and uncountable nouns, first and later mention, unique objects, proper nouns and choosing articles by sound, not merely by spelling.
