What does the acronym 'qhs' mean?

  1. Every morning

  2. Every night at bedtime

  3. Every half second

  4. Quickly at sunset

The correct answer is: Every night at bedtime

Option A is incorrect because 'qhs' refers to a time of day, not a frequency of occurrences in a day. Option C is incorrect because every half second is far too frequently to denote a specific time of day. Option D is incorrect because 'qhs' does not relate to the word 'quickly' or to any time of day. Option B is correct because 'qhs' stands for 'quaque hora somni', which translates to 'every night at bedtime'.
