Correct Answer: in a


Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.

The error in the original sentence lies in the use of "a" before "hour." The correct article to use in this case is "an" because "hour" begins with a vowel sound, and the indefinite article "an" is used before singular countable nouns that begin with a vowel sound.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "He will return in an hour."
