I woke up ---- five o'clock ---- the morning.

Detailed Solution: Question 3

Explanation:
The correct answer is C: "at / in".
- "At" is used to indicate a specific point in time, such as "at five o'clock".
- "In" is used to indicate a period of time, such as "in the morning".
Therefore, the sentence should be written as "I woke up at five o'clock in the morning".
Let's break down the options and explain why the others are incorrect:
- Option A: "in / in" - This is incorrect because "in" should be used to indicate a period of time, not a specific point in time.
- Option B: "at / on" - This is incorrect because "on" is used to indicate specific days or dates, not a period of time like "morning".
- Option D: "at / at" - This is incorrect because "at" should be used to indicate a specific point in time, and "at" should not be repeated in the sentence.
In conclusion, the correct answer is C: "at / in".
