Students read clocks and apply AM and PM conventions. Part A corrects three sentences about the 11-position minute hand, noon as PM, and the position of the minute hand at 6:17. Part B has four fill-in-the-blank questions about midnight, the minute value of position 5, and reading 8:10. Part C has three true-or-false statements about daily AM and PM contexts.
Connecting AM and PM to everyday activities helps students remember the difference reliably.

2. Fix the sentence:
Lunch at noon is at 12:00 AM.

3. Fix the sentence:
At 6:17 the minute hand points exactly to the 3.
Rewrite: At 6:17 the minute hand is between the 3 and the 4 because 17 minutes is past the 15-minute mark.
