Answer:
- "We reached the station on time" is the correct answer.
- The usage of timely is inappropriate in this sentence.
Explanation:
- On time means at a particular time which is already preplanned.
- For example, "the train is on time at 3:30pm".
- In this context, on time means that the train will arrive at the specified time.
- The word timely is used to suggest something happening at the proper time.
- For example, "the timely arrival of rain could save the land from drought".
- In this sentence, timely suggests that if the rain occurred at the right time, the land would be saved from drought.
- Therefore, in the sentence, "We reached the station timely, the use of timely is incorrect.
