Question 6

Complete the sentence with a suitable article from the options given below.

The darkest cloud has _______ silver lining.

Solution

"Silver lining" is a singular countable noun that is mentioned in a general sense, so it takes the indefinite article. Since "silver" begins with a consonant sound, the article is "a" and not "an". This also matches the well-known proverb "Every cloud has a silver lining".
