Team Careers360 · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: he spent many an hour playing the harp across the

Solution : The correct choice will be the first option.

The original sentence contains a grammatical error. The phrase many an hours should be corrected to many an hour. The use of many an. suggests a poetic or archaic expression and is followed by a singular noun, in this case, hour. Many an hour means many hours.

Therefore, the correct sentence will be, "He spent many an hour playing the harp across the 5th Ave".
