Here are the solutions to the time-telling exercises.

Circle the correct answer

1. 7:45 (Quarter past seven is 7:15, so quarter *past* seven usually means 7:15, but looking at the options: A is 7:15, B is 7:45, C is 8:15. Wait, "quarter past seven" is 7:15. Let me re-read carefully. Ah, question 1 says "It's quarter past seven." The options are A 7:15, B 7:45, C 8:15. The correct match for "quarter past seven" is 7:15. *Correction*: Looking closely at the image text for Q1, it actually says "It's quarter to eight" or similar? No, it looks like "quarter past seven". Let's look at the other questions to gauge difficulty.
* Q1: "It's quarter past seven." -> 7:15. Option A is 7:15.
* Q2: "It's half past six." -> 6:30. Option B is 6:30.
* Q3: "It's half past nine." -> 9:30. Option B is 9:30.
* Q4: "It's five past four." -> 4:05. Option B is 4:05.
* Q5: "It's ten to nine." -> 8:50. Option B is 8:50.

*Self-Correction on Q1*: Let me look really closely at the first question. It says "It's quarter past seven". The options are A 7:15, B 7:45, C 8:15. The answer is A.

*Wait, let me double check standard trick questions.* Sometimes "quarter to" is confused. But "past" means after. So 7:15 is correct.

Let's re-read the options provided in the image for Question 1.
A 7:15
B 7:45
C 8:15
Answer: A

Question 2: "It's half past six."
A 5:30
B 6:30
C 7:30
Answer: B

Question 3: "It's half past nine."
A 8:30
B 9:30
C 10:30
Answer: B

Question 4: "It's five past four."
A 3:55
B 4:05
C 4:50
Answer: B

Question 5: "It's ten to nine."
"Ten to nine" means 10 minutes before 9:00. That is 8:50.
A 9:10
B 8:50
C 8:50 (Wait, B and C look similar? Let me look closer. B is 8:50. C is 8:50? No, C is likely 9:50 or something else blurred. Let's assume B is the intended correct format based on previous patterns. Actually, looking at crop 1, Option C for #5 is 8:50? No, Option A is 9:10, Option B is 8:50, Option C is 8:50? That would be a bad question. Let me look at the digits again.
A 9:10
B 8:50
C 8:50 -- wait, maybe C is 9:50? Or 8:05? It's blurry. But B is definitely 8:50. I will select B.)
