Answer 2

Answer:

He lodged an FIR.

Explanation:

Here an is a vowel.

• Articles are used before nouns or noun equivalents and are a type of adjective.
• The definite article is used before a noun to indicate that the identity of the noun is known to the reader.
• There are two types of articles in the English language, they are indefinite articles (a, an) and definite article (the).
• The is used to refer to specific or particular nouns; a/ an is used to modify non- specific or non- particular nouns.
• We call the, the definite article and a/ an the indefinite article.
• For example, if I say, "Let's read the book," I mean a specific book.

Hence, correct answer is, he lodged an fir.
