The correct sentence is "It is a quarter to eleven." This is a standard way to express time when it's 15 minutes before the hour. In this case, "a quarter" refers to a 15-minute interval, and "to eleven" indicates that the time is approaching 11:00, 15 minutes before it.

Here’s the explanation for why the other options are incorrect:

  • ক) It is quarter to eleven: This is an incomplete form. In English, when talking about time like this, we always need to include "a" before "quarter."

  • গ) It is a quarter of eleven: This is not a correct way to express time. "Quarter of" is typically used in different contexts, like referring to a fraction of something (e.g., a quarter of a pizza), not time.

  • ঘ) It is a quarter past eleven: This means 15 minutes after 11:00, so it refers to 11:15, which is different from 10:45, the time we are describing with "a quarter to eleven."

In conclusion, "It is a quarter to eleven" is the only grammatically and contextually correct way to express the time as 10:45.
