Which of the following words means the same as 'perpetuity'?
Options:
Transience
Mortality
Discontinuity
Everlasting
Correct Answer:
Everlasting
Explanation:
The correct answer is Option (4) - Everlasting
The word that means the same as 'perpetuity' is: Everlasting
Perpetuity refers to the state of lasting forever or an indefinite continuation, similar to everlasting, which also denotes something that lasts indefinitely.
The other options—transience (temporary), mortality (subject to death), and discontinuity (the lack of continuity)—do not share the same meaning as 'perpetuity.'
