Question

Choose the word which can be substituted for the given phrase/sentence:

The period between two reigns

• A. Lapse
• B. Interregnum
• C. Stasis
• D. Anachronism
• E. Intermission

Answer 1

The correct option is B Interregnum

Option B: 'Interregnum' means 'the period between successive reigns or regimes'. This word means the same as the given group of words. Hence it can replace them and option B is correct.

Option A: 'Lapse' means 'an interval or passage of time'.

Option C: 'Stasis' means 'a period or state of inactivity or equilibrium'.

Option D: 'Anachronism' is 'a thing belonging to a previous era'.

Option E: 'Intermission' is 'a pause or a break'.

These words do not mean the same as the given group of words and hence cannot replace them.

So, options A, C, D and E are wrong.
