Hi
I came this sentence (the one in bold) in an answer script and felt it was odd in an way.
In the afternoon she fed the birds with bread crumbs. It was the happiest half hour of her day.
My doubt: It refers to afternoon here but the student wants to refer to the time the person spent
with the birds. So I want the student to make a change in the first sentence.
The it in the second sentence is all right if the afternoon in the first sentence is changed to 'for around half hour' in the afternoon, 'for some time in the afternoon' etc.
Am I right?
