writingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
time
B
night
C
day
D
break
Correct Answer: C
Choice C is the best answer. The idiom "call it a day" means to stop working, usually because one is tired or has done enough.
Choice A is incorrect because "call it a time" is not a recognized idiom. Choice B is incorrect because while "call it a night" is an idiom, "call it a day" is the standard phrase for stopping work to continue the next day. Choice D is incorrect because "call it a break" is not the fixed expression.
