11:00 a.m.
12:00 p.m.
11:40 p.m.
11:40 a.m.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine total time needed

Emmet needs 1 hour (60 minutes) to buy a present and 20 minutes to drive. Total time: \( 60 + 20 = 80 \) minutes, which is 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Step2: Subtract total time from party start time

Party starts at 1:00 p.m. Subtract 1 hour and 20 minutes from 1:00 p.m.

• Subtract 1 hour: 1:00 p.m. - 1 hour = 12:00 p.m.
• Subtract 20 minutes: 12:00 p.m. - 20 minutes = 11:40 a.m.

Answer:

D. 11:40 a.m. (Note: Assuming the last option is D, as per the order: 11:00 a.m. (A), 12:00 p.m. (B), 11:40 p.m. (C), 11:40 a.m. (D))
