Multiple choice question on Translation and EPA sites -help please?

The question is :

During a normal translation cycle, Where would you expect to find t-RNA attached to a single amino acid ?

options :

1. E site

2.P site

3. A site

4. both E and P sites

5. both A and P sites

I say 3 , but I'm not sure since you can find a single amino acid in P site too

    The three sites are the A site where an aminoacyl-tRNA binds, the P site where the peptide linked to the tRNA is found and the E site, from which an uncharged tRNA is ejected. 

    During the initiation part of translation, a tRNA with a single amino acid will be found within both the P and the A sites. During the bulk of translation, a tRNA with a single amino acid (the aminoacyl-tRNA) is found in the A site.
