The correct answer is "I have never seen a UFO in an English movie."

Key Points

  • The indefinite article (aan) is used before a noun that is general or when its identity is not known.
  • We use, "a" before a singular noun beginning with a consonant sound and "an" before a singular noun beginning with a vowel sound.
    • Example: I went to a movie. and I saw an eagle.
  • "UFO" is pronounced with a "yoo" sound, which is a consonant sound, so it requires the indefinite article "a."
  • The sentence in option 3 correctly uses "a" before "UFO" to indicate that the speaker has never seen this type of object in an English movie.

Hence, the correct answer is option 3
