Question

Fill in the blanks with suitable prepositions.
We shall meet the client _______ five _______ the evening.

• A. in, at
• B. at, in
• C. on, at
• D. at, on

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

at, in

The prepositions of time ‘at’, ‘in’ and ‘on’ are used for denoting different units of time. ‘At’ is used to refer to an exact time; ‘in’ is used denote a part of the day, month or season and ‘on’ is used to refer to a day or date. In the given sentence ‘five’ is specific time while ‘the evening’ is a part of the day. Therefore option B is correct, whereas options A, C, and D are incorrect.
