Correct Answer: hour to complete


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation: The original sentence contains a prepositional error. The correct preposition to use after the word "hour" in this context is "to". The phrase should be "hour to complete", indicating the time available for completing the exam.

So, the correct sentence would be: "You have exactly one hour to complete the exam."
