Answer:
1. 12 o'clock
2. Past or After
(It is a quarter past nine/It is a quarter after nine)
Explanation:
For the first question, notice how you cannot see both hands of the clock. This is because the two hands are overlapping at 12. Since the hour and minute hand are at 12, it is 12 o'clock.
For the second question, the minute hand is pointing towards the 3 and the hour hand is slightly past 9. Since the hour hand is between 9 and 10, this means that it is past 9 o'clock but before 10 o'clock.
~Hope this helps!~
