Correct Answer: received his birthday present at dusk


Solution : The first option is correct.

The original sentence uses the phrase got his birthday gift in the twilight , which is not incorrect, but the improved version replaces got with received for a more formal and precise expression. Additionally, at dusk is used instead of in the twilight to convey the same meaning more concisely. Twilight refers to the period between sunset and darkness, and dusk specifically refers to the darker stage of twilight. The revised sentence maintains clarity while enhancing the overall expression.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Rohan received his birthday present at dusk. "
