AfterBoards · Accepted Answer

The word "instrument" begins with a vowel sound (a/e/i/o/u), so the correct article should be "an" not "a." The corrected phrase would be: "Education is an instrument." The error is in segment 1.

Tip: We say "a university" because the word "university" begins with a "yoo" sound. The spelling doesn't matter, the sound matters!
