Answer (2)

The correct answer for the time 9:45 is 'It's a quarter to ten', which corresponds to option b. For the question about homework, the correct form is 'Do we have homework today?', so option a is the right choice. Hence, the answers are b and a respectively.

Let's break down the question into two parts:

What time is it? 9:45
To express 9:45 in words, there are a few ways to say it:
a. "It's nine fifteen" - This is incorrect because "nine fifteen" means 9:15, which is a different time.
b. "It's a quarter to ten" - This is the correct answer. "Quarter to" means 15 minutes before the next hour, so "a quarter to ten" is the same as 9:45.
c. "It's a quarter past nine" - This is also incorrect; "a quarter past nine" means 9:15.

Do we have homework today?
Choosing the correct word for this question:
a. "Do" - Correct. When asking if something is happening today, "Do we have homework today?" is proper English.
b. "Are" - Incorrect in this context, as "are" would not correctly fit the sentence structure for asking about homework.
c. "Does" - Incorrect here because "does" would be used when the subject is singular, not plural like "we."
