Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: an
Solution : The correct choice is the third option .
The use of "an" is appropriate here because it precedes the noun "apple", and the choice follows the rule of using "an" before words that begin with a vowel sound. Since "apple" starts with a vowel sound, "an" is the correct indefinite article in this context.
Therefore, the complete sentence is: "He peeled an apple and cut it into slices."
