At what time does this dialogue take place?
At what time does this dialogue take place?
Although in a different context, "a quarter" can refer to a "neighborhood" or "district", Bob does in fact say the exact time is "a quarter to two" (1:45 pm) in not "around" or approximately one. The expression "in the neighborhood" can express an "approximate" idea as in the sentence: The cost of this apartment is in the neighborhood of one million dollars.
Bob says that it is 'a quarter TO two (o'clock), which means that there are fifteen minutes remaining UNTIL 2:00 pm. If Bob had said 'it's a quarter PAST two (o'clock), this would mean that it 2:15 pm.
This is the correct choice. Bob says it's "a quarter to two", which means that it is 15 minutes until 2 o'clock, or 1:45 pm. "Quarter to" and "Quarter past" are common expressions used when talking about the time of day.
