Explanation:

Answer 2

Ramesh is a university student.

'A' is an article.

There are three articles in the English language. They are-

• A
• An
• The

'An' is used before vowels. There are 5vowels in the English language. They are a, e, i, o, and u.

• For example, an area, an art, etc.

'A' is used before consonants. Consonants are all the English alphabets except the vowels.

• For example, a tree, a horse, etc.

'The' is used before objects that have been already mentioned, universal truth, or before an object that is only one in the universe.

• For example, the Sun, the Victoria Memorial, etc.

However, sometimes 'a' is used before vowels as well. This is done when the pronunciation of the world is like that of a consonant. For example, a uniform. Here despite 'uniform' starting with an 'u' it sounds like 'yoo' which is a consonant. Therefore, a is used.
