Correct Answer: A owl was


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The indefinite article an should be used before words that begin with a vowel sound, such as owl .
A is used before words that begin with a consonant sound. In this case, owl starts with a vowel sound, so an is the appropriate indefinite article to use here.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: An owl was hooting throughout the night.
