Answer 1

The correct answer is 'He arrived on Sunday morning.'

Key Points

The correct sentence with the appropriate use of preposition is option 4) "He arrived on Sunday morning."
When referring to a specific point in time, such as a particular day or time of day, we use the preposition "on."
In this case, "Sunday morning" is a specific time when the person arrived, so the correct preposition to use is "on."
- Example: "He arrived on Monday evening."
Therefore, option 4) "He arrived on Sunday morning" is the correct answer as it follows the grammatical rule of using the preposition "on" when referring to a specific day or time.

Additional Information

The other options:
"He arrived to Sunday morning" uses the incorrect preposition "to." We do not use "to" when referring to a specific day or time.
"He arrived at Sunday morning" uses the incorrect preposition "at." While "at" can be used to indicate a general time or place, it is not the appropriate preposition to indicate a specific point in time like "Sunday morning."
"He arrived in Sunday morning" uses the incorrect preposition "in." We use "in" to indicate a general time period or season, but not for a specific point in time like "Sunday morning."
