Question

Ram uses the following sentence to tell the time of the day to Shyam. Which one is the correct sentence ?

• A. It is 2 pm in the afternoon
• B. It is 2 pm
• C. It is 2 pm in the noon
• D. It is 2 o'clock in the afternoon

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To determine the correct sentence Ram should use to tell the time to Shyam, consider the clarity and completeness of each option. The time "2 pm" corresponds to the early afternoon. Thus, the phrase "It is 2 o'clock in the afternoon" is detailed, eliminating any ambiguity about the time of day. Here's a breakdown of the options: 

• Option 1: "It is 2 pm in the afternoon" - Redundant since "pm" already indicates afternoon.
• Option 2: "It is 2 pm" - Correct but less descriptive.
• Option 3: "It is 2 pm in the noon" - Incorrect, as "noon" refers to 12 pm.
• Option 4: "It is 2 o'clock in the afternoon" - Accurately describes the time with clear context.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: It is 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
