Explanation:

- The sentence in question is: "Delhi recorded a spell of light rain (1)______ Friday evening with humidity levels remaining on the higher side throughout (2)______ day."

- We need to determine which article or determiner fits best for blank number 2.

- Option 1: "every" suggests that the sentence is talking about all days in general, not specific enough for this scenario.

- Option 2: "any" implies an unspecific time frame and would not suit the sentence structure.

- Option 3: "the" refers specifically to the day mentioned, emphasizing the particular time period in context. This sounds natural because the sentence is discussing a specific day when it rained.

- Option 4: "a" is indefinite and nonspecific, contrasting with the context of this passage.
