Hi

I`ve been trying to find out which is the best answer to the following sentence, but I think I need your help:

We had ... hard time trying to persuade him that we gave up.
1. such a
2. a so
3. such
4. so

I tend to choose the first answer, i.e. such a although I know that the noun time can be both countable and uncountable. If I take time as an experience, then I should choose such a, but I`m not sure though.
What`s your opinion on that? Do I have to choose such hard time?


Thank you very much.
