Answer 1

B
1、in the end意思“最后、终于”。它的意思相当于finally, at last。它往往表明事情的结局,在句子中一般单独使用。
如:Xiao Ming passed the exam in the end.
最后小明通过了那次考试。
Ice becomes smaller and smaller until in the end it disappears completely.
冰变得越来越小,直到最后完全消失。

2、at the end of +名词短语,意思是“在……末端/尽头”。
如:There is a clothes shop at the end of the street.
在这条街的尽头有一家服装店。
