Select one word for the following group of words.
A period of ten years
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The word that best describes a period of ten years is decade.
- Millennium is a period of one thousand years.
- Decade is a period of ten years.
- Century is a period of one hundred years.
- Fortnight is a period of two weeks, or fourteen days.
The word decade is the most appropriate because it specifically refers to a period of ten years. The other words do not have the same connotation of a specific number of years.
