Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
Mrs. Winters is hoping to return home ________________.

• A. at the earliest
• B. by the evening of the same day
• C. the next day
• D. by next week

Answer 1

The correct option is B by the evening of the same day

Option B is the correct answer because in the passage Greta had questioned Mrs. Winters that - "You coming home today like you said, no?",

to which Mrs. Winters replied saying "This evening, Greta.",
which means evening of the same day.

There is no mention of words like 'at the earliest', 'next day' or 'next week' in the passage to suggest that Option A, Option C, and Option D are the right answers.

Hence, these are incorrect.
