Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
Explanation: The verb "assured" is a reporting verb, and when reporting someone else's words, we often shift the verb tense back. In this case, "will" should be changed to "would" to maintain the correct sequence of tenses.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "He assured me that he would return in an hour."
