3 P.M. (Question:341680.4)

How do you know that there comes 3 P.M. ?

Question:

DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage carefully and choose the best answer to the given question out of the four alternatives.

Once upon a time, on Christmas Eve, old Scrooge sat busy in his counting-house. It was cold, bleak, biting weather. He could hear the people in the street outside, clapping their hands and stamping their feet upon the pavement stones to warm them. The city clocks had only just gone three, but it was quite dark already and candles were flaring in the windows of the neighbouring offices. The fog came pouring in through every chink and keyhole, and was so dense that the houses across the street looked like phantoms.

The door of Scrooge’s counting-house was open so that he could keep an eye on his clerk, who in a dismal little cell beyond, was copying letters. Scrooge had a very small fire, but the clerk’s fire was so very much smaller that it looked like one coal. But he couldn’t light a bigger fire, as Scrooge kept the coal-box in his own room. “A merry Christmas, uncle! God save you!” cried a cheerful voice. It was the voice of Scrooge’s nephew, who had appeared out of the fog just then. He had so heated himself with rapid walking in the fog and frost, that he was all in a glow; his face was ruddy and handsome, his eyes sparkled, and his breath smoked again.

“Bah!” said Scrooge, “Humbug!”

What was the day and time of the events of given passage?

Options:
A)

Noon, Christmas eve

B)

3 P.M., Christmas day

C)

3 PM., Christmas eve

D)

Evening, Christmas day

Solution:

The passage clearly mentions that it was Christmas eve and that the city clocks had just struct three. Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
