Answer Explanations<\/h2>\n

Question 1 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is at<\/strong>. We use at<\/strong> with exact clock times. \u201cSeven o\u2019clock\u201d is a specific time, so at<\/strong> is the correct preposition. This is why the natural phrase is \u201cat seven o\u2019clock.\u201d<\/p>\n

Question 2 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is in<\/strong>. We use in<\/strong> with months when we do not mention a specific day. \u201cMay\u201d is a month, so it takes in<\/strong>. The sentence means that the birthday happens sometime during the month of May.<\/p>\n

Question 3 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is on<\/strong>. We use on<\/strong> with days of the week. \u201cMonday\u201d is a day, so on<\/strong> is the correct preposition. The sentence describes when the English classes happen.<\/p>\n

Question 4 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is at<\/strong>. The phrase \u201cat night\u201d is a fixed time expression in English. Although we say \u201cin the morning\u201d and \u201cin the evening,\u201d we normally say at<\/strong> with \u201cnight.\u201d The sentence means that she goes to bed late during the night period.<\/p>\n

Question 5 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is at<\/strong>. In British English and many standard grammar tests, we commonly say at<\/strong> with \u201cthe weekend.\u201d The phrase \u201cat the weekend\u201d refers to the general weekend period. This makes at<\/strong> the best answer for this sentence.<\/p>\n

Question 6 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is at<\/strong>. We use at<\/strong> with exact times on the clock. \u201c9:30\u201d is a specific time, so the sentence needs at<\/strong>. The correct time expression is \u201cat 9:30.\u201d<\/p>\n

Question 7 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is in<\/strong>. We use in<\/strong> with seasons such as winter, summer, spring, and autumn. \u201cWinter\u201d is a season, so in<\/strong> is the correct preposition. The sentence describes a usual activity during the winter season.<\/p>\n

Question 8 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is on<\/strong>. We use on<\/strong> with days and specific parts of days when the day is named. \u201cFriday morning\u201d is a specific morning connected to a day of the week. Therefore, on<\/strong> is the correct preposition.<\/p>\n

Question 9 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is in<\/strong>. We use in<\/strong> with years. \u201c2012\u201d is a year, so it takes in<\/strong>. The sentence tells us the year when he was born.<\/p>\n

Question 10 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is in<\/strong>. We use in<\/strong> with parts of the day such as the morning, the afternoon, and the evening. \u201cThe evening\u201d is a general part of the day. Therefore, the correct phrase is \u201cin the evening.\u201d<\/p>\n

Question 11 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is at<\/strong>. We use at<\/strong> with specific points of time. \u201cMidnight\u201d is a fixed time point, so at<\/strong> is correct. The sentence means that the shop closes exactly at midnight.<\/p>\n

Question 12 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is on<\/strong>. We use on<\/strong> with days of the week, including plural days used for repeated habits. \u201cSundays\u201d means every Sunday or on Sunday regularly. Therefore, on<\/strong> is the correct preposition.<\/p>\n

Question 13 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is in<\/strong>. We use in<\/strong> with general parts of the day. \u201cThe afternoon\u201d is a part of the day, so it takes in<\/strong>. The sentence describes her usual study time.<\/p>\n

Question 14 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is on<\/strong>. We use on<\/strong> with specific dates. \u201cJuly 10th\u201d is a date, not just a month. That is why on<\/strong> is the correct preposition.<\/p>\n

Question 15 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is in<\/strong>. We use in<\/strong> with general parts of the day such as the morning, the afternoon, and the evening. \u201cThe morning\u201d refers to a general time period during the day. Therefore, the natural phrase is \u201cin the morning.\u201d
