answered
1. _An_ hour - Since "hour" starts with a vowel sound (pronounced as "ow"), you use "an."
2. _An_ octagon - The word "octagon" also starts with a vowel sound (pronounced as "ok"), so you use "an."
3. _A_ university - "University" begins with a consonant sound (pronounced as "yu"), so you use "a."
4. _A_ banjo - Similarly, "banjo" starts with a consonant sound (pronounced as "b"), so you use "a."
5. _An_ upperclassman - "Upperclassman" starts with a vowel sound (pronounced as "uh"), so you use "an."
6. _A_ hallway - The word "hallway" begins with a consonant sound (pronounced as "h"), so you use "a."
7. _An_ unopened box - Since "unopened" starts with a vowel sound (pronounced as "uh"), you use "an."
8. _An_ excellent bargain - "Excellent" begins with a vowel sound (pronounced as "ek"), so you use "an."
9. _A_ one-way street - The word "one" starts with a consonant sound (pronounced as "w"), so you use "a."
10. _A_ quarter-century - "Quarter" starts with a consonant sound (pronounced as "kw"), so you use "a."
Remember, the choice between using "a" or "an" depends on the sound at the beginning of the word, not on the actual letter.
