Question

A part in the following sentences is underlined... Five year ago today, I was sitting in a small Japanese car, driving across Poland towards Berlin

• A. this day
• B. on this today
• C. on today
• D. at today

Hint:

Consider which adverb pairs naturally with "differs" in formal English.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The phrase "five years ago today" means exactly five years before the present moment, and the standard, less ambiguous way to express this is "this day", giving "five years ago, this day".
"On this today", "on today" and "at today" aren't grammatically standard, since "today" doesn't normally take a preposition like "on" or "at" in this construction.
So "this day" is the correct replacement.
