3:00pm being past the "noonish" hours of 10 to 2, ʻauinalā should be the primary correct answer, rather than awakea.

This really doesn't make sense. Awakea is noon or to become noon where auinala is afternoon. 3pm is NOT noon.

awakea is "noon or midday" and typically is described as roughly 10am to 2pm. after ʻawakea is ʻauinalā. I would suggest that 3pm be consistently referred to as ʻauinalā, rather than awakea.

I answered with 'auinalā and was marked correct. This is as it should be. Otherwise, if 3:00 is awakea, then 'auinalā starts at 4:00. 'Auinalā would be one hour long, from 4-5 p.m. because DL is defining ahiahi to start at 5:00 p.m.
