Solution

The correct answer is "Walter Scott went to bed at 1:00 a.m."

Here's why:

AP style for time is to use figures except for noon and midnight. Use a colon to separate hours from minutes: 11:00 a.m. Do not use :00. For example, write 10 a.m., not 10:00 a.m. Do not use ciphers (double zeros) with whole hours.

So, "Walter Scott went to bed at 1:00 a.m." follows the AP style correctly.

"Walter Scott started his homework at 7 p.m. Wednesday night." is incorrect because it is redundant to say "p.m." and "night" together.

"Walter Scott finished his homework at 11:30 P.M." is incorrect because AP style uses lowercase for "a.m." and "p.m."

"Walter Scott decided to order a pizza at 12 AM." is incorrect because AP style prefers "midnight" instead of "12 AM".
