def starts_with_any(string, substrings):

    for substring in substrings:
        if string.startswith(substring):
            return True
    return False  # Return False if no substring matches


string = "abcdefg"
substrings = ["xy", "poq", "mnop", "abc", "rsuvw"]

# Check if the string starts with any substring from the list
if starts_with_any(string, substrings):
    print("The string starts with a substring from the array.")
else:
    print("The string does not start with any substring from the array.")
