Correct Answer: The rider who met with the accident was not wearing a helmet, the police said.
Solution : The correct answer is the fourth option.
Explanation : An accident is incorrect in this case, even though accident starts with a vowel sound and an is used before the words that begin with a vowel sound. The accident is appropriate as we are referring to a particular instance. An is incorrect before police because police is treated as a plural noun, and an is used before singular nouns that begin with a vowel sound, so the police will be more appropriate.
