Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. I used to eat into.
"Eat into the evening" is incorrect in this context.
"Eat into" is a phrasal verb that typically means to consume a part of something (like time, resources, or space).
"In the evening" is the correct prepositional phrase to indicate time, showing when the eating took place.
Hence, the correct sentence is: "I used to eat in the evening when my parents were on night shifts."
