Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is 'in a'.
Key Points
- The error in the sentence is in the article used before "hour."
- The correct article to use is "an" instead of "a."
- The reason for using "an" instead of "a" is based on the rule of using the article "an" before words that begin with a vowel sound.
- In this case, although "hour" starts with the consonant 'h', it has a vowel sound (pronounced as "ow-er"), so the correct article to use is "an."
Correct Sentence: He will return in an hour.
