I think A is the correct answer
Well, I believe the correct sentence is b) Please pick me up at 5 p.m. after work. It's simple, clear, and doesn't use unnecessary repetitions like "at night" since 5 p.m. is already in the evening. Plus, it's always good to be punctual!
The correct sentence is b) "Please pick me up at 5 p.m. after work."
To identify the correct sentence, let's examine each option:
a) "Please pick me up at five p.m. at night after work." - This sentence is incorrect because it unnecessarily repeats "at night" which is already implied by the "p.m." notation.
b) "Please pick me up at 5 p.m. after work." - This sentence is correct. It specifies the time using the standard notation of "5 p.m." and states the condition of being after work.
c) "Please pick me up at 5 pm at night after work." - This sentence is incorrect because it repeats "at night" after specifying the time as "5 p.m."
d) "Please pick me up at 5:00 p.m. after work." - This sentence is correct in terms of time notation, but it unnecessarily specifies "5:00" instead of just "5 p.m." which is the more common format.
Therefore, the correct sentence is b) "Please pick me up at 5 p.m. after work."
