Correct Answer: was a horrible day at the office


Solution : The correct option is the first option.

Explanation : In the sentence "It was an horrible day at the office for Roy", the use of the indefinite article "an" before "horrible day" is inaccurate. The sentence describes a specific day (though not explicitly named), and the indefinite article "a" is appropriate for this context. Additionally, the singular form of the verb "was" agrees with the singular subject "a horrible day".

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "It was a horrible day at the office for Roy, but he didn’t allow it to spoil his evening plans."
