From the conversation we know that the two are talking about library hours. On week days the library is open from 8:00 am. to 9:00 pm. On Saturdays it is open from 9:00 am. to 5:00 pm. Therefore C) “9:00 am. to 5:00 pm.” is the correct answer. You should choose C) on the Answer Sheet and mark it with a single line through the centre.
