What is the translation of 'ayer por la tarde' in English?

  1. Yesterday morning

  2. Yesterday afternoon

  3. Last night

  4. Yesterday

The correct answer is: Yesterday afternoon

"Yesterday" refers to the entire day, while "yesterday morning" and "yesterday afternoon" refer to specific time periods within the day. Since the question asks for the translation of the specific time period "ayer por la tarde," the correct answer is B. Option A is incorrect because "por la tarde" means "in the afternoon" and not "in the morning." Option C is incorrect because "last night" in Spanish is "anoche." Option D is incorrect because it is too general and does not specify the time period of "por la tarde."
