    Heh... Joke's on the exam writer: the article "a(n)" isn't related to the answers at all. It describes the word "example", which is ALWAYS preceded by "an". You would never say "a example", only "an example". Thus, the parentheses are unnecessary.

    Yes Mr. Drake, that was entirely intentional on my part to make a more challenging exam question. Coincidentally, this is a(n) example of

    A) Irony
    B) A point mutation
    C) An inhibitor
    D) A Freudian Slip
    E) The associative property
