Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Key point: Use "on" with days and with parts of days that are tied to a day (for example, "Saturday evenings").
"in" — months, years, seasons, and long periods (e.g., in July, in 2020, in the summer).
"at" — precise times and certain fixed expressions (e.g., at 3:00, at noon, at night).
"on" — days and dates, and parts of a day tied to a day (e.g., on Monday, on Saturday evening).
"within" — during or inside a period (e.g., within a week), not used to name specific days.
Therefore, the correct preposition for the sentence "Do you usually go out __________ Saturday evenings?" is "on" because "Saturday evenings" refers to a day and a part of that day.
