a | a |
b | an |
c | the |
d | — |
comment | In the test sentence ‘I don't like to come home late in _ evening.’ we are given the gap before the noun ‘evening’ that in combination with the preposition ‘in’ is the common time expression (the part of the day) -the time adverbial. In some time expressions we use the definite article ‘the’: in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, during the night, etc. But time expressions can be confusing, because in sometime expressions no article is used: at night, at noon, at midnight, etc.As in the test sentence the definite time expression is given, we are to choose ANSWER 3 (the). |
