Answer 2

In the given text, there are three homophones that have been used incorrectly. Let's identify them:

1. "An our" should be "an hour" - Hour (a period of time) vs. Our (belonging to us).
2. "Steal hands" should be "steel hands" - Steel (a type of metal) vs. Steal (to take something without permission).
3. "There attention" should be "their attention" - Their (belonging to them) vs. There (in that place).

So, the correct answer is А) 3.
