To find out what time Dale starts the spelling test, we can work backward from the end time of art class.
Art class ends at 1:35 P.M. and lasts for 45 minutes. If we subtract 45 minutes from 1:35 P.M., we find the time art class starts:
1:35 P.M. - 45 minutes = 12:50 P.M. (This is when art class starts.)
Now, since the spelling test lasts for 45 minutes and it occurs before art class, we need to subtract another 45 minutes from the start time of art class (12:50 P.M.).
12:50 P.M. - 45 minutes = 12:05 P.M.
Thus, Dale starts the spelling test at **12:05 P.M.**
