Answer 1

January is the fisrt month of the year

Answer 2

Here,

An will not be used as it is used before the words starting with a sound of vowel.

A will also not be used here as it's not grammatically correct. A will not be used before first.

Hence, the is the right answer.

Answer :-

January is the first month of the year.



Some uses of the :-

» Used before holy rivers, holy books etc. Like :- The Ganga, The Ramayana, The Bible etc.

» Used before heavenly bodies. Used before universal truths.
Like :- The sun rises in the east.

» Used before countries starting with "United". Example :- The USA, The UAE, The UN but not the India. The India would be wrong.

Since, January is the first month, it's a universal truth, we used "the" here.
