Following this idiom/phrase are given three sentences, which use the given idiom/phrase. The idiom/phrase may or may not be used correctly in one or more sentences. Identify the sentence(s) that use(s) the idioms/phrases incorrectly either in grammar or context and mark the answer accordingly. Call it a day I. An extensive tour followed, but on May 26, 2004, the band decided toĀ call it a day Ā and quit. II. Sellers continue toĀ call it a day in a market that is outperforming historical standards. III.

Call it a day: Ā To declare the end of a task; to stop working on something. Sentences I and III are correctly conveying the meaning of the given idiom.
