People existing or living at the same time

Options:

community

population

contemporaries

inhabitants

Correct Answer:

contemporaries

Explanation:

The word that means the same as the group of words "people existing or living at the same time" is contemporaries.

  • Community refers to a group of people who live in the same place or have a shared interest.
  • Population refers to the total number of people living in a particular area.
  • Inhabitants refers to the people who live in a particular place.

Contemporaries are people who live at the same time. They may be from the same generation, or they may be from different generations but live during the same period of time. For example, Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso were contemporaries, even though they were born in different years.
