Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Correct answer: A one-eyed person was seen roaming about the streets.
Explanation –
Use 'a' before words that begin with a consonant sound. The word 'one' starts with the consonant sound /w/, so 'a' (not 'an') is correct.
Write the sentence as: "A one-eyed person was seen roaming about the streets." Hyphenating 'one-eyed' is recommended because it is a compound adjective modifying 'person'.
Notes on the other forms: using 'an' before 'one' is incorrect due to the article rule; using 'the' is grammatical but makes the sentence definite (refers to a specific person); omitting the article is ungrammatical for a singular count noun.
