1."a"(a)
We use 'a/an' before a job title after 'be'. 'Doctor' starts with a consonant sound, so we use 'a'.
2."a"(c)
We use 'a' to introduce something mentioned for the first time. 'I have a brother' tells us about one brother.
3."a"(d)
In exclamations with 'What', we use 'a/an' before a singular countable noun: 'What a beautiful day!'
4."a"(b)
We use 'a' to mean 'each' or 'per'. 'Twice a week' means 'two times each week'.
5."an"(a)
We use 'a/an' to introduce something for the first time. 'Orange' starts with a vowel sound, so we use 'an'.
