The image shows a clock and some text related to telling time. Let's analyze and solve the problem step by step.

What is shown in the image?
1.
Clock Face:
- The hour hand (short red hand) is pointing just before 2.
- The minute hand (long cyan hand) is pointing at
9.
2.
Time Displayed:
- A digital box shows
1:45.
3.
Text on the Image:
- "Quarter Past" (green)
- "Half Past" (blue)
- "Quarter To" (pink)
---
Understanding the Clock:
- On a clock, each number represents 5 minutes.
- So, the minute hand at
9 means:
$$
9 \times 5 = 45 \text{ minutes}
$$
- The hour hand is between 1 and 2, but closer to 2 — this confirms it's
1:45, not 2:00.
---
Interpreting "Quarter To":
- "Quarter to" means
15 minutes before the next hour.
- Since 15 minutes before 2:00 is
1:45, this matches exactly.
So,
1:45 can be expressed as
"quarter to 2".
---
Why the other terms don't apply:
-
Quarter past: This means 15 minutes after the hour. For example, 1:15 → "quarter past one". Not applicable here.
-
Half past: This means 30 minutes after the hour. For example, 1:30 → "half past one". Also not correct here.

✔ Final Answer:
The time shown on the clock is
1:45, which is
quarter to 2.
>
Answer: The correct phrase for 1:45 is
"Quarter To" (specifically, *quarter to two*).
This matches the pink text "Quarter To" in the image, indicating that it's the correct description of the time shown.

🎯 Summary:
-
Time on clock: 1:45
-
Minute hand at 9 → 45 minutes
-
Hour hand near 2 → approaching 2:00
-
1:45 = 15 minutes before 2:00 → "Quarter to 2"
- Therefore, the correct expression is
"Quarter To" ✔
