Answer 1

he is an early riser....

Answer 2

Hey there!

Sheena here!

So what are articles?

Articles are the words which are used to describe the noun if it is definite or indefinite.

Articles describe us about the specification of any object.

As per the English Grammar there are 2 articles namely

A and The

Here the is used to tell the specification meaning it tells about the object which it is pointing out (the particular object)

The is known as definite article.

A is used to specify any object of its same kind.

A is indefinite article

Now coming to your question>>>

fill in the blanks with proper article:-
1.he is ----------- early riser.
A.a
B.an
C.the
D.none of these

Here the answer is Option B (an)

Now I had told you there are only 2 articles and an is not one among them.

To tell you when any word starts from the letter a,e,i,o,u (vowels) the article a turns to an.

In many cases an is written when vowels occur

There will be some cases where a occurs infront the vowels like a uniform.

So those are exceptional.

Now another question arises that Why I didn't use the.

Actually this is based with imagination.

The boy whom you are describing in the sentence cannot be the only person in the world who wake up early or early riser.

There are many like him.

So the article a was used, which was converted to an because a vowel i.e e was in the next word.
