Correct Answer: a Neptune


Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.

The definite article "the" should replace "a" before Neptune to make the sentence grammatically accurate, as the definite article is used to indicate the specific thing that is being talked about.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: One of their freighters, the Neptune, will be leaving in two weeks.
