Answer 2

He is an MBA. -This is the answer.

Explanation:

• Articles are of three kinds -'a', 'an' (indefinite articles) and 'the' (definite article).
• 'A' is used before a singular noun and before the consonant sounds of letters. For example, 'a cat', 'a bike', 'a doctor', etc.,  
• 'An' is used before a singular noun and before the vowel sounds of letters. For example, 'an apple', 'an egg', 'an ox', etc.,  
• 'The' is an article which is used before singular and plural nouns. It can also be used before singular nouns, the it means it talks about a specific thing/ person. (Eg): 'the dress I wore'/ 'the dresses she bought', etc.,
• In the sentence given the noun is 'MBA'. The letter 'M' is a consonant. Still the phonic sound is /em/. The beginning is a sound of the vowel /e/.
• Hence it takes the article 'an' before it.
• Therefore the answer is: He is an MBA
