    Question

    Select the option that will improve the highlighted part of the given sentence.
    I started feeling tired as I had been working for a long time and so I decided to call the day.

    A.

    be called a day

    B.

    call it a day

    C.

    be a day for calling

    D.

    call off the day

    Correct option is B

    The correct substitution of the highlighted phrase is "call it a day".
    Explanation:
    The correct idiomatic expression is "call it a day", which means to stop working or finish an activity for the day. (कॉल इट अ डे: किसी कार्य को समाप्त करना या विराम लेना)
    Example: After working for ten hours, we decided to call it a day and go home.
    Why other options are incorrect:
    · Be called a day: Incorrect phrase, does not exist in English grammar.
    · Be a day for calling: Incorrect structure and meaning.
    · Call off the day: "Call off" means to cancel, which is not the intended meaning here.
