Correct Answer: after a first rain
Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.
The sentence contains the wrong use of the article a, as it should be replaced with the to make the sentence grammatically accurate. The definite article the is used to refer to the specific first rain.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The earthy fragrance of soil after the first rain is always refreshing."
