Remember: if you are “on duty”, you’re ready for urgent calls.
“Estar de guardia” = to be on call / to be on duty for urgent cases.
A duty pharmacy works outside the normal opening hours.
“Farmacia de guardia” = on‑call / duty pharmacy, open at night and/or on holidays.
Impersonal: “there is something somewhere” = hay.
In the impersonal construction “hay” means “there is / there are”. The other forms do not work here.
Look for the option that means “only in the morning.”
“Horario de domingo: 10–14” = on Sundays it only opens in the morning.
