Is this a homework assignment?

I am not a teacher.

According to sdire's member info s/he is an English teacher, so I don't think it would be going against the forum guidelines to answer the question.

I think that the only correct answer is B.

You are right and the answer is wrong. Was it a quiz on this site? If so, could you tell me which one so that I can correct it- I can't find the question.

I'm a English so it's not a homework. It's a question from web. Here is the site http://www.docin.com/p-581249123.html.

Note that 'homework' is not countable. You can't say "a homework".

Should it be "an" instead of "a" before "English"?

 

[Boris Tatarenko]

Yes, I think it was a typo.
