We bought a pen, _ pencil and _ inkpot.

Correct answer: A. a, an

A. a, an
B. an, a
C. the, an
D. the, the

Explanation

"a" is used before "pen" and "pencil" because they are both singular, countable nouns that start with a consonant sound.- "an" is used before "inkpot" because it is also a singular, countable noun, but it starts with a vowel sound /ɪŋkˈpɒt/.Note: Remember, the rule is to use "a" before words that start with a consonant sound and "an" before words that start with a vowel sound.
