    A. Noon
    Explanation
    The office closes at "noon" for lunch, which means that it closes at 12pm. "Noon" refers to the time of day when the sun is at its highest point in the sky, which is typically around 12pm. Therefore, it is the correct answer in this context.

    C. Evening
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "evening" because the sentence states that he could still see well in the light, implying that there was still some light present. Evening is the time between day and night when the sun is setting and there is still enough light to see clearly. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that he could see well in the evening light.

    Explanation
    Texting is not allowed during class because it can be distracting to both the person texting and those around them. It can disrupt the flow of the class and make it difficult for others to concentrate. Additionally, texting can be seen as disrespectful to the teacher and can hinder the learning environment. Therefore, it is important to refrain from texting during class to maintain focus and respect for the learning environment.

    The word "convoluted" means something that is complex and difficult to follow, which fits the context of the sentence where even experts find the explanation hard to understand. The other options—"lucid" (clear), "concise" (brief), and "candid" (frank)—do not convey the same meaning.

However, since they can now email documents, the "fax" in their office is rarely used. The repetition of "fax" in the answer reinforces this explanation.
