when we want to describe someone's profession using 'faire', must we use partitive article?

Thanks

Hi Team,

I understand the below rule and it makes perfect sense...

​However, when there is risk of confusion between AM and PM, you will either use the 24-hour clock, OR add precisions like du matin (in the morning), de l'après-midi (in the afternoon)

But, why would one say "Il est quatorze heures de l'après-midi." when there is no risk of confusion here and it would never mean anything other than 2pm in the afternoon anyway?

It seems unnecessarily specific to me, so I chose not to select this option for the question:

What are the ways to SPECIFICALLY say "It is two PM." ?

It's like saying, I'm sunbathing under the sun.

Thanks
