Count the hours with the water-measure until dawn, then count backwards to the time of the birth.

Sunset

Dusk

Rise

Arise

Explanation:

- The word "dawn" refers to the time of day when light begins to appear in the sky, signaling the beginning of the morning.

- Option 1: Sunset - This is the time of day when the sun disappears below the horizon in the evening, marking the end of the day. It is opposite in context to dawn.

- Option 2: Dusk - This describes the time just before night when the daylight is fading. It is still part of the evening transition.

- Option 3: Rise - Refers to the action of moving upward; it is not directly related to the time of day.

- Option 4: Arise - Similar to rise, it means to get up or stand up; not related to time.

Now we need to find opposite of dawn and that is Dusk.

The correct answer is Option 2: Dusk.
