Correct Answer: rises at 6.35


Solution : The error lies in the second option .

The verb "rises" is in the present tense, but the time adverb "yesterday morning" indicates a past time frame. The verb tense should also be in the past tense to match the time adverb, i.e., "rose".

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: The sun rose at 6.35 yesterday morning.
