    The correct answer is between sunset and nightfall because the phrase "takes place in a short time-span" suggests that the transformation happens quickly.

    Why is the Sun described yellow? 

    • Because it is bright. 

    • Because the sun has just set. 

    Correct Answer
    A. Because the sun has just set. 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is because the sun has just set. When the sun is low on the horizon during sunrise or sunset, its light has to pass through more of the Earth's atmosphere. This causes the shorter blue and green wavelengths to scatter more, leaving behind the longer red and orange wavelengths. As a result, the sun appears yellow or orange during these times.

    When does the fog creeps up around the marshes? 

    • When the sun is setting 

    • When it is almost night.

    Correct Answer
    A. When it is almost night.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is when it is almost night. This is because fog is formed when the air near the ground cools down and becomes saturated with moisture. As the temperature drops during the evening and night, the moisture in the air condenses, leading to the formation of fog. Therefore, it is during the time when it is almost night that the fog creeps up around the marshes.
