Question: #10: I would disagree that the "yoo" pronunciation is not a vowel sound. The letter "u" is designated as a vowel in the English language simply because it is pronounced as a vowel. The explanation I would offer as to why "unique" is preceded by "a" rather than by "an," is that in the English language, there will always be exceptions to various rules. For example, we would say "an Englishman" -- "an" preceding a word beginning with a vowel -- , but we would say "a European." Two nouns beginning with the vowel "E," but each preceded by a different article. So, yes we have a rule exception, and yes, the letter "U" in "unique" is pronounced as a vowel. #21: "On the chair" would be used to describe a small, hard seat chair. "In the chair" would be used to describe to a larger, upholstered, more comfortable chair. So either answer could be correct. #47: Customarily, the expression used would be "at a hotel," referencing the building or facility itself, rather than the interior space.
