Answer 2

Answer:

She is a European.

Explanation:

• Indefinite artice a is used before the word European. Indefinite Article, 'an' is used before a vowel letter or vowel sound.

• European has started with a vowel letter 'e' but when it is pronounced it sounds 'U' not 'e', both of them are vowels but 'u' doesn't take an before it. Example : A university, a unicorn etc. All these words have started with a vowel letter 'u' but will not take 'an' before them, 'a' is right for them.

• A is used for consonant letter or consonant sound. Example : a tiger, a cat, a duck, a bicycle, a book etc. The word 'European' is an exception of indefinite article 'an', because it takes 'a', not 'an'.
