Correct Answer: for a hour


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation : The use of "an" before "hour" is correct because it follows the rule of using "an" before words that begin with a vowel sound. In this case, the pronunciation of "hour" starts with a vowel sound ("ow"), so "an" is more appropriate than "a".

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Do you mind lending me your book for an hour ?"
