○ 11:40 p.m.

○ 12:00 p.m.

○ 11:40 a.m.

○ 11:00 a.m.

Explanation:

1. First, calculate the total time needed before the party starts: Buying a present takes 1 hour (60 minutes) and driving takes 20 minutes. So total time is \( 60 + 20 = 80 \) minutes, which is 1 hour and 20 minutes.
2. The party starts at 1:00 p.m. Subtract 1 hour and 20 minutes from 1:00 p.m.

• Subtract 1 hour from 1:00 p.m., we get 12:00 p.m.
• Then subtract 20 minutes from 12:00 p.m., we get 11:40 a.m.

Answer:

11:40 a.m.
