Correct Answer: She purchased an apple in the market with me.


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The noun a pple has a vowel sound in the beginning, so it should be preceded by the article "an" because "an" is placed before the singular nouns starting with a vowel sound. Also, only one apple is being talked about out of a lot. Hence, the indefinite article "an" must precede the noun "apple".

Therefore, the correct sentence is: She purchased an apple in the market with me.
