alleryWhy do the labels a.m. and p.m. not truly fit noon?
ANoon has no number
BNoon lasts one second
CNoon falls at night
DNoon is not before or after
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Noon is not before or after
1. a.m. means before midday and p.m. means after midday.
2. Noon is the midday moment itself.
3. It is neither before nor after itself, so neither label applies exactly.
