Explanation
Heroes always seem to arrive at just the right moment. "At" is used to indicate a specific point in time or a particular location. In this context, "at" is the correct preposition to convey the idea that heroes arrive at a specific moment or time. "In" and "on" are not suitable in this sentence as they do not convey the same meaning.

Correct Answer
B. B. in

Explanation
The correct answer is "B. in". When we say that heroes always arrive "in" the nick of time, it means that they arrive just in time, at the last possible moment. The preposition "in" is commonly used in this context to indicate a specific point or moment. Using "at" or "on" would not convey the same meaning.

Correct Answer
B. B. at, in

Explanation
The correct answer is B. "at, in". This is because the word "at" is used to indicate a specific time, while the word "in" is used to indicate a general time period. In this sentence, "at" is used to specify the exact time of 6:30, while "in" is used to indicate the general time period of the morning.
