Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The word 'honorable' is pronounced with a silent 'h', beginning with the vowel sound /ɒ/ (like 'on'). Therefore, it takes the indefinite article 'an'. This is similar to words like 'hour', 'honest', and 'heir' where the 'h' is not pronounced, making 'an' the correct choice.
