Discover LudwigThe phrase "asked an" is not correct in standard written English as it is incomplete and lacks context.
It can be used when referring to a question or request made to someone, but it typically needs to be followed by a noun or a specific context to be meaningful.
Example: "She asked an important question during the meeting."
Alternatives: "inquired about" or "requested information on".
