Let’s go step by step to fill in the blanks using the correct prepositions of time:
at,
in, or
on.
We’ll use the chart at the top as a guide:
-
at → for specific times (like 3 o’clock, noon, night)
-
in → for months, years, seasons, parts of day (morning, afternoon — *unless* it’s “the morning/afternoon” with a person’s routine), and longer periods
-
on → for days and dates (Monday, October 28, my birthday)
Also note:
- “from...to” is used for ranges (time or date)
- “during” can be used for events or periods (but not listed here — we stick to at/in/on/from/to)

Now let’s solve each sentence:
1) We have class ___ eleven o’clock.
→ Specific time →
at
2) We have class ___ nine ___ eleven.
→ Range of time →
from...to
3) Teachers work in the morning, and she works ___ the afternoon.
→ Part of the day →
in (same as “in the morning”)
4) I study ___ the evening.
→ Part of the day →
in
5) Tony sleeps ___ night.
→ Fixed phrase →
at night
6) Mary was born ___ October.
→ Month →
in
7) Mary was born ___ 1967.
→ Year →
in
8) Mary was born ___ October 28.
→ Date →
on
9) Mary was born ___ October 28, 1967.
→ Full date → still
on (because it includes the day)
10) The bank isn’t open ___ Sundays.
→ Day of week →
on
11) The bank is open ___ 8:00 a.m. ___ 5:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
→ Time range + days →
from...to for time; but since it says “Monday through Saturday”, that’s already covered. So just
from...to for the hours.
Wait — actually, looking at the structure:
“The bank is open ___ 8:00 a.m. ___ 5:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.”
So two blanks: first before 8:00 a.m., second before 5:00 p.m.? No — probably one blank between them? Let me check the original image layout.
Actually, from your text:
“11) The bank is open ___ 8:00 a.m. ___ 5:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.”
That’s two blanks: one after “open”, one after “a.m.”? That doesn’t make sense.
Looking back at your typed version:
> 11) The bank is open ___ 8:00 a.m. ___ 5:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Ah — likely it’s meant to be:
“The bank is open
from 8:00 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.”
Yes — so
from...to
But wait — there are two blanks. So:
First blank:
from
Second blank:
to
12) The bank closes ___ 5:00 p.m.
→ Specific time →
at

All match the rules.
